Assignment 3

Hope you’re having fun with these writing assignments. Please put your submissions in the comments field of the post so we can all share your writing.

For assignment number three, I would like you to pretend that…

You have just found a carpet tack in a can of tuna. It clearly didn’t come from any environmental sources (you didn’t put it there and it didn’t fall in after you opened the can). Please write a text message to the president of the company with your reaction to this shocking development in your tuna-preparation activities.

You have only 140 characters. Post your answer/assignment in the comments.

    WTH? How did a tack get in my tuna can? Mayo won’t make it taste good. So much for Charlie’s good taste. How ’bout a punitive award Mr. CEO?

    To whom it may concern,

    I am pointedly disappointed in your company’s new line of tuna products.

    Though your genetically-modified tuna may provide more iron and other minerals, finding an object like a carpet tack in my can of tuna, is certainly a sharp deviation from your typical water-packed albacore products.

    To put it bluntly, I could use your tuna more to keep my upholstery and rugs in place, rather than making a tasty lunch time meal.

    Surely, you will find yourself in a prickly situation, so govern yourself accordly.

    Sincerely….

    Two haiku:

    I sought canned meat.
    I find DIY tool instead.
    Tacky tuna no good.

    Taste buds are prickling.
    Sadness over dead dolphins?
    No, carpet tack in my can.
