Something Shakespeare Never Said

Shall I compare you to a meatball sub?

You are more saucy and more succulent.

You've put on weight of late, oh! there's the rub,

But this is no cause to be truculent.

 

Shall I compare you to an armadillo?

Your body's softer, much less armory.

Shall I compare your belly to a pillow?

It is more chubby and more charmery.

 

Shall I compare you to the shepherd's bush?

At five-foot-one, you're only slightly taller.

Our senators and congressmen should push

To get your face imprinted on the dollar.

 

I sneeze like crazy when I sniff a rose,

But your smell doesn't irritate my nose.
