Sonnet in ABBA

[spatch]

Pray, scorn me not! I pledge my troth to thee
And if thou shalt ever deign to change thy mind
My love so strong compels me head the line
In the hopes thou tak'st a chance on me.

Oft times have I thought back upon that night
O sweet Fernando, canst thou hear the drums?
Their beat brings something in the air that comes
To make the stars of liberty shine bright.

Behold, this lass of only seventeen
What beauty this, such grace upon the floor!
Jiveth she as none have dared before
O truly, for she is the Dancing Queen.

It's oft been told the winner takes it all
If that be so, the loser takes the fall.

Honestly, sometimes I don't know why the rest of us bother trying, when we could just send you money.

Dear sweet jesus. Two of my favorite things together for the first time. It's like when I first saw Xanadu... Rollerskating and Olivia Newton John.

Permission to use this in my English class when I teach Elizabethan sonnets and rhyme scheme? I'll give proper credit, of course.

[rfreebern.livejournal.com]

Wow. That is fantastic!

[spatch]

My, well, sure!

Awesome.

I'm sure if I got all the references, it would be hilarious. :)
