Bono Looks to The Edge to Cure His Writer’s Block
“<curse word – the sillier the better>!” said Bono.
“What’s the matter, Bono?” asked Edge.
“I’ve got a nasty case of writers block! I’ve never had this before…what do I do?”
Edge cocked his head at a <number> degree angle, the perfect angle for figuring out the solution to this problem.
“Well,” Edge said, “it seems to me that you’ll need to put on a <color> <article of clothing> and a pair of <type of shoe> shoes, go to <where you buy your groceries> down the street and buy some <junk food – plural> and <health food – plural> and come back here.”
“Edge, why do I need to wear that ridiculous get-up when I go get them?” Bono asked.
“Do not question the Zen master, my student,” Edge replied. “When you come home, you must put your <same junk food> and <same health food> in a blender and make it pasty. Then you have to smear it on your bare <body part> and let it sit for <another number> hours. Once you have that, you have to soak in a tub full of <liquid> while drinking <your favorite drink> until your fingers get wrinkly, then dry off with a <color> towel and put on <your favorite outfit - the more details, the better>.”
“<exclamation>, Edge, that sure is a lot of work to cure writer’s block!” Bono said.
“Well, do you or don’t you want a cure?” Edge asked.
“I suppose I need a cure,” Bono sighed. “Is there anything else I need to do?”
“Yes,” Edge replied, “You need to put a <flower> in your hair and recite this mantra <another number> times: ‘I have <verb ending in –ing> <plural noun>!’”
Bono went off to <where you buy your groceries> wearing his <the first color you said> <the first article of clothing you said> and his <same type of shoe> shoes, and Edge watched him walk down the street, laughing harder than he’d ever laughed before. “What a dork!” Edge thought.
