"This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams


Just so you Know

I have cleaned
the bikes
that were left in
the house

and which
you brought
mud
on my carpet

Forgive me
I sold them
to pay
off the mortgage

  1. Wonderful! I think you and I have the same thought pattern when writing a parody to Williams' "This Is Just to Say." You've compared the bikes with Williams' plums. As for me, I did it with the socks. But, I really don't see any clear distinction or connection between the bikes and plums or the socks [mine] with plums. It's just bizarre and a little bit off.

    I hope you enjoyed writing this parody. It's a little funny, and you made a point that really stands out. Williams' ate the plums and you cleaned and sold the bikes...how are these connceted, I wonder. Overall, you had a well written parody!
