How Do I Loathe Thee by Chuck Keller Wednesday, September 20, 2006 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan Just a playful exercise using Elizabeth Barrett Browning's classic poem.
How Do I Loathe Thee (Challenge from foggyguzman) To Elizabeth Barrett Browning (An Apology) How do I loathe thee? Let me shout for days. I loathe thee to the height and left and right The sky can stretch, while reaching for sun bright For all the speeding cars a dog might chase. I loathe thee beyond the luminous rays Of blistering sun. As 7-Up loathes Sprite. I loathe thee surely as day turns to night. I loathe thee truly as dark as night stays. I loathe thee with such pure heartfelt disdain. The fire of hell is cool when it's compared To the searing, scalding and horrid pain I would soon inflict if I only dared. A thousand lashes from Singapore's cane

this made me smile and I think Elizabeth Barrett Browning would have too, as I believe she was a good sport and would not mind a parody of this sort of perfectedness.
