"Something Old, Something New..." Short Story Lists

[Michael]

Robin from New Jersey called in to suggest that we all come a list of titles fitting categories modeled after the "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue" rhyme. For example, she created "Something Classic, Something New, Something Steampunk, Something True."

Rather than stick to certain pre-defined categories, I thought it might be fun if everyone got to create their own little rhyme and fill it with the stories they like. Up for the challenge? Create your rhyme and list below!

(actual rhyming not necessary, though that will make it more fun!)

Proses are read
violence are boo
biographies are neat
and history is too

[Robin]

Classic: The Story of an Hour - Kate Chopin
New: Vampire in fhe Lemon Grove - Karen Russell
Funny: Why I Live at the P.O. -Eudora Welty
And True: Astray - Emma Donaghue ( Stories based on real people)
