So, the assignment was to write a sonnet, and I got the best inspiration when my mother locked the keys in my car.
and thus my sonnet...
O trusty, rusty, buddy Sam the Can,
Thy fallen visor and thy missing parts,
With thy well-worn shell; you still greatly ran;
Were relied on. Why didst thou from me part!
A simple drive, twas what I thought, as we
Together went. The party was not far
And thus I stay'd, and you, quickly left me
Thus separated, I lost thou, my car.
But alack! That night the keys were inside!
As well as my things, clothing, and my shoes!
All lock'd away from possession and sight!
Along with my food and my apple juice!
O buddy, poor friend; once mine and now lost!
To what misfortune do I owe this cost!
... I wanted to add something about Fred the mouse, but I didn't have space ^^;.
