Shall I Compare Thee To a Bums Day

Shall I compare thee to a bum’s day?
Thou fart more lovely and more belle.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And the bum's lease hath all too strong a smell. 

Sometime too stinky the smell of taco bell,
And often is his bean burrito dinner mass;
And every bum from bumland sometimes smells,
But chance, or nature's changing course causes gas. 

But thy eternal smell shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that foul thou ow'st;
Nor shall you brag thou grade,
When in eternal scent, thou gross,
So long as men can breathe or have heart,
So long lives this, and this gives life to fart.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
