Mad Libs




Remember that time you ate that spicy salsa just before you went to bed on the night before the big thanksgiving dinner ?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the important details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a grocery store  waiting to be sent to prison. Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect corn hair trump looking like a crazy porcupine  who could eat a whole plate full of snakes. 

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to give.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy suit and tie and then you had make a errand to go back in time to the prison so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the global warming issue that Trump hasn't made a policy about.

But right there in the prison there was a giant dog and it started barking at everyone.  People started to stand.  You grabbed a gun from a nearby hit and yelled don't move or I will shoot. Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.
