Try your hand at parody or satire — take an
article, film, blog post, or song you find misguided, and use humor to show us
how.
So, here’s
where I admit one of my many writing shortcomings. I don’t think I have ever
written a satirical piece of anything, not even for any of my literature
classes in college. I looked up the definition of satire and parody and even
examples of satirical writing and poetry, but I am at a loss on this one
because of my extreme lack of experience with this one. Sorry…but I don’t even know where to start.
And instead of exposing you to a very bad piece of satirical writing, I’m going
to take the coward’s way out and pass on this one. You wouldn’t want to read it anyway. J If
you have experience at this type of writing and would like to show me how it’s
done, I’m ready to learn and would seriously welcome your instruction. Maybe I should take a class on it….something
to add to the bucket list…take a class on satirical writing. If I ever get around
to that, I’ll come back and post the product of that class here. Promise!
