Hi Ron,

Have you considered reading the lines randomly? I mean otherwise the poem could be read in text file or straight PRINTs... might not be so sad either???

Hi Ron,

Any amusing combinations?

Here is another idea:

Write or copy a short story, take all the places where the hero is named and replace with hero$ variable, same with other like nouns, adjectives, verbs. Then ask the user to name some hero or heroes that you will use to substitute for hero$, like wise for maybe 3 adjectives, verbs and nouns.

Now retell the story with the variables substitutions. It can be quite amusing!

I liked using Data rather than loading a file. But for longer story, a file is much easier to use.

Nice job!

Many years ago there was a senario generator that worked much the same way. I think it was a type in program for the C=64. Great stuff
QB64 is the best!
