Sonnet 53

Every sonnet I read I hate so much

No person could be so brutal to write

"Golden poetry with a perfect touch" --

Lame! If I e'er met someone, I'd start a fight!

If I e'er met someone, indeed, like Bill,

Say, Edmund, Philip, Petrarch, and the rest,

Heavenly angels would help fight and still,

I would conjure up every host unbest

Save the worst of them all and attack true,

Never giving mercy to the writers

Of those lousy unfit poems that they do

For I know poets never were fighters...

Ugh, see me now; I fell in their pit

Now I am lousy like the others who writ
