He did not mean to make her cry
She did not mean to to upset him
She felt like they were hanging on a limb
The only thing she could say was why
It was a mistake she didn't mean to tell
All she wanted was to take it all back
She looked up to him and said Oh Mack
He looked at her but his face just fell
He held her close and kissed her cheek
She leaned into him and said What now
He said everything will be okay
All she wanted was to forget the day
All he did was furrow his brow
He held her tight til she was weak

Sestina
It was a beautiful day in Autumn
The sky was blue
The ground was covered in fresh fallen leaves
It was going to be the perfect ending
To the perfect day
And they would be together forever.
There was something blue
And a ring that would be borrowed forever
Everyone would stick around until the ending
She walked down the aisle full with leaves
She thought of when they first met three years ago in Autumn
There was no better way to end the day.
He was working in her front yard racking leaves
To her the work seemed like it would soon be ending
She was wearing a dress of blue
It seemed like it would be a long day
She had been wanting to talk to him forever
And so she did just that on that cold day in Autumn.
She was finally able to get the courage to say hi that day
She talked about the weather they were having this Autumn
She had had not met someone like in forever
He liked how she wore his favorite color of blue
He knew from the start their story was going to have a happy ending
But he did not like the sound of her walking to the house on the leaves.
He had known all along they would have a happy ending
It had turned out to be his perfect day
He would never forget that fateful Autumn
Now he was going to marry his best friend forever
He liked how the air smelled of the leaves
It reminded him of that first day they met under the sky of blue.
Now that they were married forever
The wind picked up and blew the leaves
Beautiful pictures were taken that day
And it was all thanks to the season of Autumn
And the dress of his favorite color blue
It truly was the perfect day with the perfect ending.
It had all started on a day with a sky of blue
The leaves fell off the tress in Autumn
And their ending was one that would last forever
The sky was blue
The ground was covered in fresh fallen leaves
It was going to be the perfect ending
To the perfect day
And they would be together forever.
There was something blue
And a ring that would be borrowed forever
Everyone would stick around until the ending

Ode about Mountain Dew
I see you here
I see you there
I see you everywhere
In a kids hand
In the vending machine
In my fridge
You sweet beverage you
Oh how I love you
Mountain Dew
I sometimes see you on TV
and wish I could have you
In my hand so I can drink
I have loved you for a long time
and I promise from this day on
That will never change.
They try to imitate you
with Mello Yellow but
It is not the same as you
I see you everywhere
Mountain Dew, and the best part
I have you right now in my hand
I see you there
I see you everywhere
In a kids hand
In the vending machine
In my fridge
You sweet beverage you
Oh how I love you
Mountain Dew
I sometimes see you on TV
and wish I could have you
In my hand so I can drink
I have loved you for a long time
and I promise from this day on
That will never change.
They try to imitate you
with Mello Yellow but
It is not the same as you
I see you everywhere
Mountain Dew, and the best part
I have you right now in my hand

assignment 10
The short stories A&P and Bartleby, The Scrivener have several similarities. One of the similarities are the way certain characters act towards other. In A&P the store manager does not treat the three girls very well because they are not dressed properly for his store. He talks down to them and is not happy about there appearance at his store at all and just kicks them out. Talking down to three young girls like he did is not how a manager should act. The store manager could have used a different approach and talk to the girls that next time they came in they should dress more appropriately and let them go on with there business.
In the short story Bartleby the narrator asks him to do several different tasks that are not that hard to do but sense Bartleby refuses the narrator gets angry and frustrated with him and yells at him a few times. The narrator could have handle the situation better then what he did. The narrator then tries to just get rid of Bartleby by moving his office. This just seems childish. There must have been another way to get Bartleby to leave.
In both stories the bosses could have fixed the situation if they did not talk to the girls or employee the way they did. The bosses could learn something on how to handle confrontation. In the end something was lost. In A&P the cashier left and in Bartleby, The Scrivener, Bartleby dies. If the bosses did not act the way they did the ending could have been better. The store manager would not have lost his cashier and the narrator would not have lost his office and Bartleby would not have died.
