Vaughn's Challenge
here's my submission for Vaughn's challenge http://www.editred.com/index.php/My_Ink/Bulletin/Show/7201
**100 words, must include an arguement, cannot use the word 'the'**
We certainly didn't raise you to appreciate these artful things! Our deadbeat nine to five, knuckles-to-bone sensibilities haven't afforded room for this apocrypha you're wasting your youth writing.
Where have we gone wrong? Vulgar pornography you call 'poetry' execrating our god-fearing ways! Can you imagine what our neighbors will say? You're upsetting your mother! Manners aren't all in vogue with you kids, I suppose!
You'll be boring! We've staked this family's claim on mundane. We won't suffer your claim jumping!
'Beautiful', 'wonderful', 'wistful'!?! You little blaspheme! Reviler! Romantic!
Don't you ever say those words under my roof!

| Heh, this rings true with a lot of us on here, I think. Well-done! |

| "You little blaspheme! Reviler! Romantic!" Ahh, what a wonderful line. Great story, I like how you gave the feel of a dialogue without actually using quotes. And as usual, I love your word choice. |

The first one sided argument I've seen and I'm thankful for it. A very nice sarcastic tone. Well done.
