I have to parody a poem we studied in class. I tried to keep the same rhyming scheme. Please let me know what you think!
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?": Shall I compare thee to a shoe?
Shall I compare thee to a shoe?
Thou art more restful and more essential:
Indigo waters do stain thee blue,
And the maker's mark all too influential.
Sometimes too valuable for the base,
And often is shape for function faulted;
And pair for pair finds no mace
By chance of nature's sidewalk vaulted;
But thy eternal obsession shall not wave
Nor lose possession of that pair thou ow'st,
Nor shall the closet hold thou in his grave
When in fashion thou will grow'st.
So long as women can breathe or walk,
So long live covetness in their talk.
