Shall I compare thee to a bale of hay? <br />Hay is more lovely with a better shape. <br />Thou must have seen many a better day; <br />One look at thee and one tries to escape. <br />Sometimes too hot the sun on thee did shine <br />And that is why thy poor skin is all burned. <br />I thought that I could look at thee just fine <br />But suddenly my stomach overturned. <br />Yet thy eternal glamour cannot fade <br />For fade it has already; it did flee! <br />It is too late for thou to find the shade; <br />For a picture of wrinkled, look at thee. <br />And now the time has come to end this song; <br />To have it go on longer would be wrong.<br /><br />Kim Barney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shake-that-spear/
