Y'all remember Mad Libs, right? I loved them when I was a child, thought they were the most fun ever. I wasn't wrong. I think this community will be a super fun one to play Mad Libs in. This is how it works: I choose a literary excerpt to corrupt, then I decide which words to pull from it. I ask for words from different parts of speech. You give them to me, and I plug them in.

I'll do a follow-up post next week (and a new Mad Lib) with the words you give me plugged in. Who knows, maybe we'll even vote on the best ones and give a prize of whatever I find under the cushions in the recliner.

Okay, here's your first list:

1 time of day

2 adjective

3 adjective

4 plural noun

5 plural noun

6 noun

7 verb, singular, present

8 noun

9 noun

10 possessive pronoun

11 noun

12 verb

13 noun

14 verb

15 noun

Let's have some wordy-nerdy fun!
