Reminds me of the poet Charles Bernstein's list of poetic experiments [1]. Specifically:

> Substitution (2): "7 up or down." Take a poem or other, possibly well‑known, text and substitute another word for every noun, adjective, adverb, and verb; determine the substitute word by looking up the index word in the dictionary and going 7 up or down, or one more, until you get a syntactically suitable replacement.
