The emis stame

I'll the how-dumb-deid o'the carld havist mucht.
the warl' like an eemis stme
wag i the lift
Am' my eerie mememories fa'
like a yowdemdrift
the worlds cut ootithe stame
had the fug o'fame
am' history's hazelnaw
nao yirdit thain.

WHAT?!  I gave a pretty simple homework assignment:  write something in cursive to practice your cursive writing.  To be fair, I did say anything was okay, as long as it was written in cursive.  And he did write this random jumble of made-up words in cursive.  So I gave him full credit, but...seriously?  Ten dollars and a chinese duck neck to anyone who can figure out what this is supposed to mean.

In other news, I went to Walmart today.  For months, there has been a Walmart under construction downtown with a sign promising to open November 24th.  We’ve all been anxiously waiting, and today I went down to indulge my megalo-mart shopping fantasies.  It wasn’t open.  And didn’t show any signs of opening soon.  The Chinese have no word for “false advertising.”
