“Shakespeare uses Sonnet 18 to praise his beloved's beauty and describe all the ways in which their beauty is preferable to a summer day. The stability of love and its power to immortalize someone is the overarching theme of this poem.Dec 19, 2018”

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare
1564 –1616

Sonnet aimed at Trump (Ubu King )
Shall I compare thee to a greasy fart?
Thou art more foul and more intrusive .
Foul words and deeds show us your heart,
And to democracy you are abusive .
Too crazy, the Maga lot doth whine,
Oft their help you’d rather have rejected .
And each rally shows us your decline,
Endless repeat, more new lies injected .
But thy inflated ego shall not fade,
Nor acknowledge law or all that is fair .
Not even your death shall end this mad charade,
When so many fools are damaged beyond repair .
So long we can’t breathe free, or have eyes to see,
So long lives this, and this give life to thee .
