I was stumped by this topic. My only idea was someone's first day as a Disneyland princess, and it was intimidating. My goal is to actually manage to write a piece with character description and dialogue. I might manage it one day. BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY.
So tonight I took my kids for a walk. I started to teach them "The Grand Old Duke of York". My four-year-old twins had trouble with the first line, so I broke it down and explained.
"Oh!" said my girl twin. "I thought it was a girl!"
That made me giggle at the vision of "had ten thousand men". So I sat down to write a gender-bent rewritten historical nursery rhyme sort of thing.
I'm....not sure how I ended up here from there, although it involved a detour via a high-class New York prostitute named Daisy. I know this is creepy, and I am surprised at myself. Apologies to the Duke of York and his descendants.

Constructive criticism is VERY welcome.
