Hey, Steve! the end of ur sonnet made me laugh. but you forgot iambic pentameter and the rhyme scheme. OOPS! oh well. at least u got the 14 lines, right? my favorite lines are: "smelled like the chicken i plucked" *HEHE*, "o joy isn't this fun" (I like the O JOY part), and "pretty soon I can read off senior menus". i think those are the funniest lines. :o) it's not technically a sonnet, but itz a great poem!!!!
