+# Types Lab
+
+In this lab, we learn about types by writing functions whose inputs and outputs 
+are English parts of speech. Once you finish, you will be able to generate
+syntactically-correct phrases which you can use to write auto-poetry like:
+
+Roses are red<br>
+Violets are blue<br>
+Evenings are poisonous<br>
+And so are you.<br>
+
+I used to have a formative scratch<br>
+Until i swapped it for an icy latch.
+
+There once was a person named pete<br>
+Who owned an optical cleat.<br>
+He widely canvassed it,<br>
+And then he canvased it,<br>
+Until it turned into a beat.
+
+## Usage
+
+- `vocabulary.py` has a bunch of functions for picking random words.
+` `grammatical_types.py` defines types like `Noun`, `Adjective`, and `TransitiveVerb`.
+- `grammar.py` has a bunch of functions for combining and transforming
+  grammatical types. These are unfinished; it's your job to write them.
+- `poetry.py` has functions for writing beautiful auto-poems. Once `grammar.py` 
+  is complete, try running `python poetry.py`.
