Week 40 Form: Tailgaters
Form: Tailgaters  Open in new Window.
The Tailgater is a rhymed couplet that begins with a well-known line of poetry and concludes with a witty come-back of your own making.

Number of Lines: 2


Rules:
Below you will find three first lines from well-known poetry, write a witty response for each.

Rhyme Scheme:
A rhymed couplet means two lines of poetry and the last words in each line must rhyme.

Choices for the poets to make this week: Write a rhymed witty response to each of these:

1. I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
(The Lake Isle of Innisfree, W. B. Yeats)

2. O, to have a little house!
(An Old Woman of the Roads by Padraic Colum)

3. Between my finger and my thumb
(Digging by Seamus Heaney)


Examples:

What?
Twas brillig and the slithy toves
what this means only Carroll knows.

Santa’s Surprise
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Mrs. Jones was tongue-lashing her drunken spouse.

Disagreement
Jack Spratt could eat no fat
because his wife would start a spat.
