The Beatles - Lay it to me.
A Lay is a type of form that is most commonly written in octosyllabic verse, in which the name suggests, a verse where each line has eight syllables. To keep it simple  ONLY make it EIGHT lines. There is also a rhyme pattern of aa,bb,cc,dd. The twist here is to use the title of a Beatles song and create your own poem from that. You may use any title that you want but the Beatles title must be incorporated somewhere into the poem. 

I am a captive of these chores, Clean dirt from windows, walls and floors. Clothes washed to remove all the dirt, Even the lipstick on his shirt. There's no time to check if its mine. Washing is done, dirt came out fine. "A hard day's night", and when I die. They'll throw dirt on me, where I lie.
