Today I arrived home with this sort of irritating tingle in the back of my mind. It was my inner voice telling me that I had no good ideas and that I should just quit while I am ahead. So, I ignored it and went to get the mail.
Isn’t it funny when your brain tells you one thing and the universe says… “No, that’s not right! Let me help you”. So, there it was, a whole scad of junk mail… and perfectly intertwined in the midst of the pile were a credit offer from SINcrony Bank and McDunghill’s coupons. Yes, I changed names to… I dunno, to make fun of two companies I don’t particularly like. (Why are they even sending me mail? What a waste!) But WAIT! I can use this…
So for your reading amusement… I present a “found mashup poem”. A found poem is where you borrow the words from one, or in this case two, works and create something new. I hope you enjoy the found mashup. I counted and I used less than 10% of the words from either of the mailings so no harm, no foul… right?
