"This is Just to Say" Parody


I have killed your dog that was on my porch. I plucked his eyes out and broke his four legs.
And which was so cute and friendly,
And who you probably loved
Forgive me for killing him. You´ll never see him again, but I enjoyed his death.

I have used up all the hot water in my bath.
And which you would have probably enjoyed
Forgive me but it was a delicious bath, now I´m cozy and clean.

I have deleted your 100 page essay
In which you probably spent allot of time doing.
Forgive me, but you´ll have to do it again. I enjoyed pressing that button that said "erase"

I have stolen your car that was on your garage.
And which was probably really expensive.
Forgive me but it was so pretty, and it runs so fast. It´s the best car I´ve ever had.

Oxymoron and Paradox

This frase is often found on books, documents, exams, and manuals so the reader knows its not a printing mistake, but the blank page is left there on purpose. This is a paradox because the text on the page keeps it away from being blank. Its contradicting since it say´s its blank when its actually not.



The symbol Yin -Yang represents the Chinese understanding of how the natural world works. The Yin - Yang represents light and darkness put together to mean everything. This is an oxymoron beacause light or white (yang) and darkness or black (yin) have two opposite meanings, and they are being put together to describe something (in this case "everything")


This image is an oxymoron. It's contradictory to say "act naturally". If you act its not natural, so it contradicts itself. The definition  of natural is: characterized by spontaneity and freedom from artificially, affection, or inhibitions, it means not altered, treated, or disguised. The definition of act is the opposite. When you act you are being "artificial, and your attidude is being "altered or disguised". They are two words that mean two opposite things and are put together for a certain purpose.
This image is also an oxymoron because a copy can´t be original. It is often found in books, scripts and other types of written paper. If it is original how can it be a copy? The definition of copy is: an imitation or reproduction of an original. When you say "original copy" it contradicts itself.
