  Very nice! I didn't know of this. Mine was actually 95% made from the Thesaurus. Nice we both picked "albino poultry." His the more polished and "exact."



  There are no thesaurus terms for articles, I realized. You could use "one" for "a," etc. but these were not indexed in the thesaurus I used.

  I always give my students Donald Hall's version:







  The Crimson-Hued Conveyance



  Such an extraordinary degree of importance

  is attached



  to a crimson-hued conveyance

  for waste material



  which has accumulated particles of liquid

  emanating from the heavens



  in the approximate vicinity

  of the albino poultry.



  [fr. *Goatfoot Milktongue Twinbird*]
