Shall I Compare Thee To a Summers Day

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more annoying than a buzzing mosquito. Rough winds do radiate from your way, And your face is red as a ripe tomato. Sometimes too bright your sweaty skin doth shine And often is my fair vision dimmed By the sight of your face, in decline, And your thighs, needing to be slimmed. But thy eternal summer shall not fade When will you pay the money that thou ows’t? Thy personality cuts me like a blade When in eternal lines to time thou wrinkles grow’st, So long as men can breathe and eyes can see, So long lives this: thou shalt remain ugly.

Roses Are Dead

The roses are dead And the violets are too Happy Valentine's. My cold empty heart Is but a barren wasteland No more room for you. Goodbye my lover But perhaps we'll meet again In a dream some day

Dear Tastebuds

I’d like to start with spring rolls, Then a drop of wine, Perhaps some cheese and crackers, Or fresh grapes, straight from the vine. Fresh bread would be nice, Or perchance a bowl of chips. Let’s not forget the guacamole Into which the chips will dip. Tomato soup, hot and thick, And then a pasta dish. Pizza, my favorite, (margherita please,) Followed by meat or fish. For dessert we’ll have gelato, Or luscious berry pie. I can’t decide which flavor I would most like to try. It’s amazing how there are so many Wonderful things to eat. Every meal, you take me on a journey With new flavors to meet.
