SHALL I COMPARE THEE TO A SUMMER HOUSE?
(It's laddo's birthday today (deathday, for that matter). I thought I'd give one of his more tiresome dirges a chuck-on with this facelift from my shed stable)
Shall I compare thee to a summerhouse?
Thou art more sturdy and more waterproof;
A summerhouse is for a great girl’s blouse;
Conservatories? Thou thinkest me a poof!
Sometime too hot doth blaze Apollo’s eye
But when ‘tis cold, ‘tis bloody cold, by Jove!
Ye shed-man, though, will ne’er stick fast, for by
Paraffin heater or pot-belly stove
He spurneth risk of carbon monoxide;
And eke he may his wife-man’s nagging halt
Concealing himself covertly inside
His faith placed on ye door’s interior bolt;
Forsooth he may splash out on as he’s read
His dirty books inside yon garden shed.
