Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
I could like Shakespeare pen idyllic lines!
Or is that but a quaint and drawn cliche?
Cliche, archaic, sexist too I find.
When but this hardship ever passes by,
And you and I like lovers ever be,
Will be the day that I release a sigh,
This task complete a payment, it’s a fee.
A fee like dowry, no, again that is,
Just slightly gross to treat you like a toy,
That one might buy inside a Target, Iz,
You mean such more than idle trinket joy.
So here I end my heart wrought task I’m done,
No more shall I be needing write, you’ve won.
Actually that would be considered outside the original material. You could never actually glean that from the material itself.
As for actual study of Sonnet 18, this isn’t based on Sonnet 18 though it co-opts the opening line thereof. It’s a satire of English sonnets in general and their propensity for flowery language describing romanticism in general. It only uses Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18’s opening line and mentions the bard specifically because he is the largest offender of, and popularised, the cliché.
Edit: though, it is true that I don’t particularly like Shakespeare’s works.
