Assessment Instructions
For this assignment, you are going to choose a famous couple from the list below and write a humorous sonnet that one of these individuals would send to the other.

You may write your sonnet with sincerity and affection, or if you are feeling clever or cynical, you may write a parody. A parody uses the form of the original to poke fun. For this assignment, you would write your parody in sonnet form but employ techniques like hyperbole, understatement, or irony to mock the love poem genre, the idea of love in general, or some dynamic of your chosen couple’s relationship.
