Why

Why am I writing this sonnet for class? On a beautiful day, like today is, But I must, so I’ll make it very crass This is, sadly enough, like a pop quiz. Usually I’d be watching some Netflix, So why, Mrs Steinberg, why make me write? You make me swear it upon River Styx Each word written takes up a gigabyte I’ve used allusion and apostrophe To enhance my beautiful sonnet here I’ll even try using hyperbole This pain I can only barely endear But wait! This line here means we are almost done Goodbye, I leave the lime light now, have fun.
