Refer to the advertising section or the classifieds in your source

newspaper. Create a poem by replacing all of the nouns in your

chosen ad segment or classified listing with nouns from one article

in the same newspaper. You may use multiple ads/classifieds,

presented in the order of your choosing.

Source: Edmonton Journal - Monday April 14, 2014 - took a real-estate ad and changed as many nouns as possible using the first two paragraphs from a sports article in the same edition. The two pieces are re-typed below. I took some liberties when writing the poem; left out some awkward numbers from the real-estate ad, made plurals out of singulars to make the poem flow...I've heard Ouliposts are supposed to be about fun, so today, I had some! (Should probably mention, the title is all mine...a plug for Crosby to win the trophy!)

Captain kept Penguins afloat this season: Ask the NHL rank-and-file to vote on the game's best player, and I'd say 70 per cent of them would scribble C-R-O-S-B-Y.

     But Sidney Crosby, the superstar Pittsburgh Penguins captain, has one only one most-valuable player award and he's been in the league since 2005. 

      How can that be?You can throw out two seasons when Crosby had his concussion issues in Pittsburgh and only played 21 and 41 games, but that's still only one Hart Trophy in the other six seasons. Alex Ovechkin has three MVPs and Crosby has one. There's something wrong with this picture.
