Amendments to “Sonnets from the Portuguese 43” by E.B. Browning

How do I love thee Claymore? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the big and little and tallness

My red pen can reach, when grading with might

To the ends of the grade scale and student haste.

I love thee to the level of five day’s

Educational creed, by sun and new LED light.

I love thee freely, as you begin to persuasively write;

I love thee purely, as your persuasive writing phrase.

I love thee with the thesis you put to use

Writing about Darth Vader, and new school electives.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

Worrying about Junior’s ability to write. I love thee with the spit,

bile, blood, of all my life; and, if your Mother choose,

I shall but love thee better after State Testing.
