"Shared laughter creates a bond of friendships. When people laugh together, they cease to be young and old, teacher and pupils, worker and boss. They become a single group of human beings." - W. Lee Grant

Shall I compare thee to a warm springs day
April showers bring May flowers to us
Flowers bloom on a sunny day in May
As we sit there and ride on the big bus
The sun shines so yellow, big, and so bright
Orange lilies and yellow tulips too
Children run in the meadows with their bright kite
The cows on the farm just sit and go moo
When springtime arrives that means mud is here
Kids playing in the mud puddles all day
When people start walking that means spring’s near
They have so much fun on this day in May
Out with the snow, in with the warm weather
Now we can have our great get togethers
Why is it that school is so restricting?
I can never do anything I want.
I wish the principals would just go sing!
The teachers never fail to taunt and haunt.
All the students are always just as rude.
I always hate the new and ugly fad.
To distract you are the girls that are prude,
I despise writing in the blue notepad.
I can never concentrate on my work.
Day dreaming in classes is the best thing.
I don’t mind reading, I am not a dork.
After a day of school heads are aching.
I’ve been waiting some time to graduate.
I’ve been waiting for two thousand and eight!
Shall I compare you to a small monkey
You like to throw big smelly sticky poop
I really think you smell kind of funky
Try not to drop that in my bowl of soup
You are a mangy dirty animal
And you also like to eat small monkey
And I think you are quit the cannibal
Other animals think you smell junkies
Monkeys you are you like to swing from trees
You like to swing from the high monkey bars
When you’re on the monkey bars you say wee
And we’re all glad that you can drive a car
You can be fun even though you smell bad
To the jungle and back to your small pad

Shall I compare you to an old timer?
You are so wrinkly and always cold
With your old skin you could use some primer
You always act hateful and love to scold
Sometimes your skin is sagging to the floor
And often your old complexion is dull
Your complexions old and you’ll never score
Your elongated ears I’ll never pull
But both your arms and legs are very weak
When you die you wont be saggy no more
You’r so old you can barely even speak
Soon, you won’t be able to open the door
As long as you can still breathe and not croak
I advise you not to buy anymore smokes
Shall I compare thee to a feathery bird?
Thou art more ugly then matted feathers,
Rough winds blow you around like old cheese curds,
It is to bad I named you heather,
Sometimes your black feathers really smell bad,
And often your beaky teeth need a brush,
So go back and hangout in your bird pad,
And every fair from fair isn’t fair, Hush!
When the eternal shine of your feathers die,
I would hate to loose possession of you,
I hope you don’t let out a frantic cry,
When in the end you will be bar-b-qued,
So as long as you still build your bird nest,
You be able to afford the rest.
Sean D,
Your sonnet is so funny. I like how you are so descriptive of monkeys and ... poop. Great poem.
Casey,
Your sonnet creates the oldest, slimiest, most saggy old timer ever. Again, great descriptions.

Going for a walk
Why did I go for a walk?
As I turned to my left, I saw a bear.
I got very scared and ran back to hoods.
When I got back I noticed that my hair,
Was standing on end. My adrenaline,
Was high and caused me to lose my slingshot.
I could of shot the old bear in the chin.
Maybe if I go back to the last spot
I was, I’ll find it. And I can shoot this,
Bird with a rock. Hope is don’t come right back
Smoke me in the face, nope just barely miss.
I should go and look for the bear or tracks.
It’s getting very late and also dark.
Wow, what was that, it was just a dog bark!
Casey, I like how old people are saggy and never score. Everything you right makes sense and is very funny.I agree, no more smokes
Nicole, I really like how you describe where everyone is during the really nice days out, while where stuck in school....
SEAD D.
I DIDN'T LIKE YOURS, BECAUSE YOU GOT TO SAY POOP AND I DIDN'T
NICOLE
NICE PARODY, I LIKED YOUR WORDING AND USE OF WORDS.
Working on cars is what I like to do
There is always something broken to fix
Cars trucks and bikes I can also fix too
It works way better if you know some tricks
Cars are the easiest thing to work on
Sometimes the jobs I have to do are hard
If you need tires you can go to don
Some cars should be sent off to the junkyard
I hate when I get cars that are rusted
The tools for the job can get expensive
People always bring stuff in that’s busted
I like when the work can get extensive
You have to have all the tools for the job
Make sure to grease them give it a good glob

Shall I compare thou art to a John Deere?
Thou art is strong and tough and powerful
A Deere without a seat will hurt your rear.
A John Deere is very useful to pull
Things. They are neat and fun and big and cool.
They make all kinds of different sizes.
To run a Deere you cannot be a fool.
A John Deere can be full of surprises.
John Deere’s are for hicks only, not for preps.
John Deere tractors can be for work or show.
When getting in, don’t miss all of the steps.
Increase the throttle and watch the smoke flow.
It takes a lot to know how to run it
The tractor is definitely not whit.

DOC
You’re as soft as a warm blanket of fleece,
Your canter is as fast as a Chevy,
Sometimes your presence makes me feel at peace,
In the winter time your blankets heavy,
Your blue eye makes you look big, fierce, and mean,
But your brown eye makes you look sleek and shy,
Your tail blows swiftly while you eat sweet greens,
Sometimes you sound like a girl when you cry,
No matter what you will still be my boy,
Your fir is so shinny in black and white,
You could be a Grand Champion horse toy,
You can be silent as the dead of night,
I found you way up high in Lancaster,
I never fell in love with you faster.
I really like Brads, because I love John Deere.
