Surreal... (Sonnet) by Yardbird
Shall I compare thee to a vacuum cleaner? Thou art more viscous and more ergonomically designed. Rough monkeys do bend the branches of my rubber-plants, And summer's eyes hath all got conjunctivitis. Sometime too often the pigeon of Bristol melts, And often is his moth-eaten toupe unkempt; And every fair from fair sometime excretes, By chance or momma's changing bowels unchained; But thy eternal hangover shall not fade Nor lose possession of that monkey thou stole; Nor shall Fulham FC brag thou scored in their history, When in Coke bottles to drink thou dry: So long as elephants can remember or stamp on mice, So long I write, and this gives me a headache.

Down the ladder: i would have you

You made me laugh. Especially 'So long as elephants...' Use your brains for something I prefer, like and ode to depleted uranium. Thank you in advance.

An excellent sonnet. Just like the great bards, 'tis indecipherable and incomprehensable. Well done.

This is very funny. You started to lose me though towards the end. And I live only half a mile from Fulham FC of which you spoke. What would our friends in the US make of your refenrences? It should be read by Richard E Grant in the manner of his brilliant performance in Withnail and I

Bitchin' dude. 9, but only because it was not a sonnet.
