How about a bit of fun?
All poems, songs and stories start with a single line. They are meant to grab you right off the bat. Some of my favorites:

In the beginning.The Bible
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.Tale of two cities
If I had wanted to live, I would have died.Silverlock
Awake, for morning in the bowl of night...Omar Khayyam.
I woke up this Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. Sunday morning coming down.
She went down last October in a pouring driving rain.. Mary Ellen Carter.
Call me Ishmael. Moby Dick.
