When I was a junior the senior class of ‘90 chose THE OCEAN as their yearbook theme so my creative writing class was forced to write a bizillion poems on that subject to fill the “artsy” page. Despite the check pluses from my teacher, none of my poems were chosen by the yearbook staff because they were considered downers and didn’t extol Jersey Shore virtues using rhymes like sunnin’ and funnin’, tannin’ and keg-standin’, f@#*in’ and upchuckin’.

“The Autobiography of a Dollar Bill That’s Had a Very Bad Day”

I’m going to write this entry in handwriting because I’m out of handwriting (or cursive, whatever) shape.
