A Wocket in your pocket?
A Wocket in your pants?
Anyone who does so, 

is surely in a trance.

 

Wockets are a menace,

are nasty, scheming, snobs.

Beware, fellow Americans,

for they will take your jobs!

 

Wockets are not people. 

They do not look like us.

They speak a funny language,

and move in by the bus.

 

So put no Wocket in your pocket!

For that is not the way!

If a Wocket's in your pocket,

you will be led astray.


The author's comments:

AP Lang teacher gave us 5 minutes to craft an arguement in the style of Dr. Seuss. This is what I came up with :)

 

P.S. For anyone who isn't familiar with a Wocket, it's a creature from Dr. Seuss's book,  There's a Wocket in my Pocket! In this book, the main character, a young boy, lives with a fictional Wocket inside of his pants pocket.

 

P.P.S. This is satire, if you weren't able to pick up on it :)
