Shall I Compare Thee to Shakespeare's Summer's Day?

Shall I compare thee to Shakespeare’s Summer’s Day?

I think not.

 

Thou art more like that of a feline,

Screeching after its tail has been trodden on.

 

Or possibly that of a freight train,

Screaming to an emergency halt on the tracks.

 

Even likened to fingernails,

Scraping down a classroom blackboard.

 

But, no, thou art not to be compared to a Summer’s Day.

 

Thou art more like cars,

Smashing as metal crumples in a 10 car pile up.

 

Or possibly that of a dog,

Snarling and vicious enough to guard a junk yard.

 

Even likened to a boiler,

Stoked full of fire and fury for those around you.

 

For your voice is an unmelodious as all of these things,

Therefore; I implore thee to keep thy voice down!

Im a really big fan of shakespeare so i liked this one specially :D
I loved the way you wrote it in a style more traditional to that time and his work to.

LoL . . . very comically put, my friend. I believe that insults have lost their class. People just default to the "F" word. This, on the other hand, is very classy, and done with style. Nice work.
