Cuckoo for Coconuts!!<\/h2>\n

Hooray! Hooray! It\u2019s National Pina Colada Day!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"pina<\/p>\n

So, whether you do or do not like getting caught in the rain . . .<\/p>\n

Whether you are or are not into health foods or champagne . . .<\/p>\n

Regardless of your opinion about waking up at midnight\u2014<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s put the lime in the coconut and bust out in poetry! Pul-lee-e-e-e-sa!* PLEEESE!<\/p>\n

Thinking coconuts, tropical islands, pineapples ripe for the plucking, and cuckoo birds write a poem. And yes, because the notion that there even is a National Pina Colada Day is slightly cuckoo, use as many words as you can think of which include the letters C and O in that order. If you really want to cut loose, try including a bird call or two!<\/p>\n

Set the timer for 7 minutes.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Start writing!
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t think about it too much; just do it. <\/strong><\/h3>\n
