M’s writing prompts for March came with the following instructions:
“…set your timer for ten minutes and begin writing about one of the prompts listed below. Don’t worry about spelling, punctuation, neatness, or anything like that; just write!”
Let us see what I can do in ten minutes…
A tisket for a tasket throw your mother in a basket
Put the basket in the fire watch the flames as they grow high
A tisket for a tasket put the baby in the basket
Watch the baby sail away and then rule the land one day
A tisket for a tasket push the boat man in a basket
Put the basket in the river watch him drown and watch him shiver
A tisket for a tasket put the lover in a basket
Pop the basket in the pot serve the lover piping hot
A tisket for a tasket shove the father in the basket
Hang the basket from the tree watch him jig and dance with glee
A tisket for a tasket lay yourself down in the casket
Put the casket in the ground there you can’t make any sound.
