William Shake-speare : Sonnet 130
Dim Lady
My honeybunch’s peepers are nothing like neon. Today’s special at Red Lobster is redder than her kisser. If Liquid paper is white, her racks are institutional beige. If her mop were Slinkys, dishwater Slinkys would grow on her noggin. I have seen tablecloths in Shakey’s Pizza Parlors, red and white, but no such picnic colors do I see in her mug. And in some minty-fresh mouthwashes there is more sweetness than in the garlic breeze my main squeeze wheezes. I love to hear her rap, yet I’m aware that Muzak has a hipper beat. I don’t know any Marilyn Monroes. My ball and chain is plain from head to toe. And yet, by gosh, my scrumptious Twinkie has as much sex appeal for me as any lanky model or platinum movie idol who’s hyped beyond belief.

I don’t know how long this sale will last but Amazon has a nice hardback collection of the works of (ahem) William Shakespeare (ahem) -which normally sales for 300 clams- for 60 American dollars. At 38 volumes it comes to less than two bucks a hardback. I nearly bought this when it was one sale for 120. Glad I waited.
