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 dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st 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
Above is the original version of Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare.Below is our parody version of it, Sonnet 18 (cube). Its supposed to be 3 different conversations between 3 different couples. This was our performing piece for YAWP 2008, organised by Hwa Chong Institution (college section). YAWP stands for Young Adult Writers Perform and is a platform for students around Singapore to showcase their talents in performing poetries. Our group won 2nd prize ($200) overall out of the 6 finalists. There were 2 soloists, 1 Hwa Chong JC1 group, 2 RI groups and 1 Xin Ming group. Considering that this was an under-21 competition and that we were only 14,the youngest of the finalists, a 2nd is already sufficient for us :) There was actually another sec4 group who participated, but didn't get into the finals. The sec 3 group which got in,Gregory's group, didn't win anything for the finals,sadly. We were hoping we could just sweep home the 1st and 2nd prize.haha. Their performance was honestly good, not very sure why they did not win. In case you're wondering, the Hwa Chong JC1 group won the 1st prize and the Original poem prize,which totalled up to $500 to be shared among 5 people,so you can already work out the amount they have each.Thanks to the people who came down to support us, Benedict, Mrs Suhaimy, Mr Yap and Ms Koh :)
(For this poem, the first paragraph of each section is the male voice,while the second paragraph of each section is the female voice.Enjoy :) )
You're more hot and scorchingthan the engines of F1Even Fann Wongis no match for you The eye of heavenshines ever so bright, Trying so hard to defeatyour golden complexion However hard it triesyour summer shall not fade,For youglow with burning desire.Shall I compare theeto Edison Chen?Thou art more flirtatiousand far less decent. Rough winds have spreadyour stories of love, But bear this in mindyou’re getting on my nerves.Sometimes thy roving eyelands on mine But never a pighad such stench as thine.-----------------------------------------Shall I compareyou to an iPod touchYou're way finerthan the holidays in MarchYou know my iPodrocks off my socksBut you're on my mindaround the clockShall I compare theeto Paris and Britney.You’re no different,except Paris has more money.Even though you do wear undergarments when shopping,I still find your lack of disciplineextremely appalling. ------------------------------------------You’re as funky as a lava lampI need your lovelike blood to a vampI’ll be your Beckhamif you’ll be my spiceIf you add me on facebook,I’ll kiss you twice.Thy disgusting imageshall not fade;O’ I should love to hit theewith a spade.So long as I can breathe,my eyes can see,And I can runI'll stay away from thee...Tay Zhi Yuan
