Sonnet 18+, Adult Situations
Shall I compare thee to my summer bae?
Thou art more bangin' and less of a bitch.
She slashed my tires because she is cray,
And left me with naught but a pubic itch.
Sometime too hot my one-eyed flesh burns,
And often does a strange liquid he secrete;
I fear it's time this pained young man learns
To consult a pelvic specialist who is discreet.
But our union shall avoid such a grim fate,
For nothing can taint our purest of love;
As long as before I unlock your satin gate,
I duly remember to slip on a latex glove.
So long as I feel discomfort when I pee,
So long I wrap it up when I give you the D.
