Parody on Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a winter’s day?

Thou art much colder and tempestuous

Like a blizzard in the month of May,

Leaving me shocked, frozen and suspicious.

I’d rather bear a thousand blazing summers

Than a moment under your icicle;

You love and leave

A patron saint of the fickle.

And like an avalanche

Your apologies

Never hinder another storm

And that blanket of niceties

Doesn’t keep me warm

Too many holes from wearing it thin

Like the skin I’m living in

No stolen heart will give you

What you can win

If only you would give more than you take…

Shall I compare thee to a winter’s day?
