Buttercup, I've Repeated

...

Buttercup, I've repeated, "as you wish,"
over and over and over again
anything you prefer assistance with
I'll get right on it, just let me begin

by saying "it's plain I'm common wesley
right now, and you crave dread pirate roberts,"
of course, interpret that from simple plea
blasted "as you wish" everything I blurt

feel like a moron, try not to trip when
you say, "farm boy, fill these with water, please"
can't you see this peasant is who I've been,
in my future I brave barbarous seas

"true love: you think this happens every day?"
in my mind when "as you wish" all I say.

...

  5. Very cool, Matt. A sonnet carved from that love song of a film, The Princess Bride. Perfect.

  6. I can't say I've seen the movie, but I really like this poem - great inclusion of quotes as direct speech.
