MLA Edition 10 – 2022 Update

Proclamation! Hark! A new report! 

For we, the MLA, have changed cohorts

Stale prose, no more; now poetry, galore 

And lines with double spaces we ignore

 

Times New Roman, moving on 

Annihilate that clichéd font

Point 12 text size — such a bore

All of this — toss out the door

 

Headings too, we shall keep them alike: 

However, lazily we do describe

So look above with fascinated eyes

To perfect headings that are much more wise

 

To clarify: th’ emoji’s no mistake 

Instead, it showcases the students’ ache

Unrestricted honesty we want

The graders, we swear, will be nonchalant 

 

That concludes our minor edits

To all of this, do we claim credit

Edition 10 will be a blast

Let’s just see how long it lasts
