/*

Programmer: Jennifer Leopold

Date: March 14, 2016

File: hw8.cpp

Purpose: This program generates poetry, randomly selecting

nouns, verbs, adjectives, interjections, pronouns,

and adverbs from data files containing possible

such words. Each line of a poem is constructed

according to a pattern randomly selected from a

file that specifies the order of each part of speech.

User input determines how many lines are in the

poem.

To compile: g++ hw8.cpp hw8fncts.cpp -o hw8

To execute: ./hw8
