"Tied at the top, three tiny orange ceramic deer strain against the restricting sides of a clear plastic bag. This ominous incarceration could well have been foisted on them by some Anti-Santa.

five-paragraph essay 

A widespread and mind-numbing writing appliance used by uncreative teachers and schools to spread dissatisfaction with writing among their students. Though "creative" five-paragraph essays have been written, the form is generally mandated by dull minds to make writing and thinking dull.
