Homework: You can choose one of the following for your homework. Either compose a letter to Alanis explaining what she doesn’t seem to know about irony OR rewrite the song so that it DOES contain instances of irony.


Alanis Morissette - Ironic lyrics

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's as tasty as a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's just in time as a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think?
It's lovely as rain on your wedding day
It's timely as a free ride when you've already paid
It's nice as the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought? It figures!...
