In Poems from Before I Was A Poet

So, for English I had to write a silly essay about

:Write a newspaper article convincing a sleepy pig to become invisible:

Needless to say, I had so much fun with it! This is not serious. It's supposed to be silly and funny.

**

Hey You! Yes, you. Oh, my! I can see you're very sleepy. I am quite sorry, but I must have your attention for one second. I have a very important announcement. Yes! Extremely important. So, listen up.

Are you a pig? If you are, you must be quite sleepy. Sleepy pigs are sad. But I know how to fix all your problems! Yes, you read right! Your problems can be fixed.

Become invisible!

Government officers have released it's actually possible. So, if you want to you can cure all your sleep urges by, yes, becoming invisible!

Sleepy pigs be gone, for now, you have no excuses. You can get a job, go to the mud hole and even drive with this new way to be awake and alert!

Lol, I wish my English essays were that much fun. But shouldn't you use paragraphs? Other than that, I didn't see anything wrong with it.

This is just one of those lines I fall in love with when I read them. I mean I like to imagine this as a stand-alone line without the rest of the work, and it will be unfailingly hilarious. Great work.

Government officers have released [do you mean "realized" as in "discovered" or "released" as in "released classified documents proving that" it's actually possible. Be clear! Like an invisible pig!

I just imagine a car driving all by itself and there being an invisible pig at the wheel. It's fantastic. What a fun assignment.
