Best Steinberg Poems


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.

Premium Member Cartwheels for Veronica

   Archie did cartwheels for Veronica
   Jughead even played his harmonica ~
     But Veronica’s Jewish
     Leaving two suitors bluish ~
   Steinberg made her latkes for Chanukah
