Sonnet

I’m back from Summer Vacation, and I wrote a Sonnet about it!

Sonnet- a rhyming poem of fourteen lines that reflects upon a single issue or idea

Ex:

I think by now we can all agree that Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” is the song of the Summer. But what about the sonnet of the Summer? I haven’t seen anyone claiming to have written that yet, so I guess this Filthy Easy Summer Sonnet is the winner by default:

Picking sand and lint out of a cavernous inny belly button

All those Michelob Ultra’s couldn’t slim me down for nothing

So the swim shirt stays on at my above ground backyard pool

Eat a burger within thirty minutes of swimming? I wouldn’t be such a fool

Floaties and noodles keep my paunch above water

With my mortgage and lay-off I’m barely afloat

But one mustn’t be stressing when the weather gets hotter

Unless the neighbors come over, then I’m building a moat

Sparklers and fireworks upset my dog

And give Saigon flashbacks to my uncle Rob

But time heals most wounds, and so does a freeze pop

That comes in a red fishnet bag, like a Miami Beach thot

Vacation is over, I’m red like a lobster

Aloe Vera on sale at CVS, I shell out three dollars.
