Here's a fun little game which will put your wits and writing skills to the test. The user before you will choose a verse and post it here. Your job is then to corrupt it - to make it funny, silly or just plain random. Please don't just copy precorrupted nursery rhymes though - it's much more fun to make your own. Plus that would be plagiarism.
When choosing a verse to post, you can use anything you like, from nursery rhymes to Shakespeare to broadway musicals to Justin Beiber lyrics as long as it's clean. Please keep it to a maximum of 8 lines though, and remember to post where it's from if it's not obvious from the text.
For example, if the verse was the nursery rhyme Michael Finnigan:
There once was a man named Michael Finnigan
He grew whiskers on his chinnigin
He grew them out but the wind blew them in again
Poor old Michael Finnigan, begin again!It could be changed to:
There once was a man named Michael Finnigan
He grew whiskers on his chinnigin
The barber shaved them off so he tried to stick them in again
Silly old Michael's got a bare chin again.Here's the first verse for corruption. It's from Shakespeare's "MacBeth":
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dogShow me what you can do!
