PARODY SHAKESPEARE

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate.Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimmed;And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade,Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest,Nor shall death brag thou wanderest in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou growest. So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Shall I compare thee to a nacho chip?Thou art more crunchy -- though without the cheese:Rough winds do blow when I forget the dip,For nachos are so very hard to please:

Sometimes too hot, so I must let them cool,And often is their gold complexion dimm'd,But only when I make them like a fool,By chance they burn like candles yet untrimm'd:

But thy eternal crunchiness won't fade,Nor burn like all my failed attempts to bake,Nor shall you be like these -- so poorly made,Which in eternal snacking I forsake.

So long as men can breathe and tongue can taste,Your nacho-likeness will not be erased.
