Hello, people! I wrote this for English about a month ago, and for some inexplicable reason I've decided to post it (go figure my mind). I actually got good marks for this, why is beyond me. My mum actually found this extremely funny. Oh, and I was mad at her when I wrote it, as you may have guessed.
Disclaimer: Oh come on, there's no way I'd own any of Shakespeare's sonnets. This is just an annoying, innocent little parody.
Sonnet to my mother
Shall I compare thee to a dictator?
Thou art more strict and more demanding.
Tormenting me since days of yore,
As "encouraging" words you with liking fling.
You're such a pain while you scream and chide
How did I manage to survive so long?
How I wish that you would go and hide
And let me watch TV all day longIn the comfort of my room with a view
Without hearing your annoying voice,
And give me some peace and quiet too,
After all, do I have a choice?
Oh, and thanks for every loving admonishing telephone call!
When I think about it, maybe you're not so bad after all.
(with apologies to William Shakespeare)
