Sonnet #386

 To receive your sonnet freshly squeezed

Please deposit fourteen quarters in the slot

And extra features come for those want hot

Fresh poems or perhaps ice water cold or freezes

For cursing enemies there’s a fee schedule based

On how many lines they’re cursed in, but 

If you wish to seduce someone, the cost for that

Is based on difficulty of rhyme, orange is faced

With unique problems, blue-hair or red is cheaper

For profound wisdom based on mythologies

The price is a bit higher than based on nature

But humor is the costliest of all because these

Few lines are nearly impossible to please your

Preferred target, so it must be redone rewritten

Laughter, deep true laughter, is hard to work in.
