Dear
Cameron
University:
My name is
Kevin Dickinson, and I am a professor of Shakespearean Geography. What is this,
you might ask? Well, I like to “spice things up” and bring something new to the
community. Instead of taking English AND Geography, students can take my course
and learn twice as much in half the time! Shakespearean Geography is actually an
ancient science dating back to, well, Shakespeare. The reason I am writing this
letter to you is to inform you of my decision to teach at your college. If you
have an opening, I’d love an interview, as your school resides in my home state.
The entire
course (1 full semester) is spoken in iambic pentameter. The students will
especially enjoy the “Fjord Lecture.” Here’s how it goes!
Whatst the
hell art thou, you weirdo fjord
With your
Norwegian name you make me bored
I want to
strangle myself with a cord
And die
because of you, you frickin’ fjord
There was a
man who went into Peru
And had to
stop right then to tie his shoe
He heard
about a fjord and had to puke
So please
schedule an interview for me if you have any positions open. Thank you!
Sincerely,

Prof. Kevin
