The exercise:

Tonight I open up Lessons in the Dust, my NaNoWriMo novel, for the first time since the end of November. Let the rewrite begin!

Assuming I survive the experience, I shall be back here tomorrow to let you know how it goes. Until then, your prompt today was inspired by the light-hearted theme of the closing ceremonies last night: fun with stereotypes.

Mine:

I've got me a pet beaver,
I went and named him Bucky;
He helped me build our igloo
And he brings me good Lucky!

Every night for dinner
We have us some baby seal;
Some people think that's so cruel
But I laugh and say, "Get real!"

Don't be so down on this dish,
Y'all really need to cheer up;
Try a bite and if you like,
You can add maple syrup!

Well it's time for me to go,
I got me some wood to chop;
Then it's time to play hockey
With our bright red mounted cops!

But feel free to come over,
We'd love to show you our ways;
And if you behave yourself,
We'll throw in a couple "Eh"s!
