The Suck Up Sonnet

Dedicated humbly to the exalted, dazzling XVI GoH Talent Show Judges

To what does your splendor match? Deb Dicke,
You’re infused joy, like sparkling Bryan Schneider –
The happy zing of a fresh lime rickey;
The way of the martini: Fine gin (slight stir).

No Dacron GoH, Fran Underdown:
I style you and my two Mikottii
As a Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown;
Next to Shanzhai knockoffs, a true Dior tie.

You gems of humanity, Bonnie, John,
And precious parents, Tommye, Wayne,
Electrify my life like silicon
And shimmer as a rain-washed diamond vein.

My love for you’s timeless as smashed, stopped clocks.
Hey, this don’t work? How ‘bout some cash stuffed socks?
