Shakespeare’s not in Love
Shall I compare thee
to a summer’s day?
No?
How about some other way?
Shall I compare thee
to an autumn eve?
Thou art more beautiful,
when the light is fading.
Can I compare thee
to a Reuben sandwich?
Thy flesh also folds
when lying in repose.
Art thou not most like
a plate of lutefisk?
An unctuous temptation,
till the first bite proves false.
