Sonnet for Verne

Shall I compare thee to an autumn's day?



Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Rough winds do shake the goal posts of September,

And football season's lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of Les Miles shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every run or pass some time declines,

By chance, or the SEC's changing course, untrimm'd;

But thy eternal autumn shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that wit;

Nor shall Gary Danielson brag thou wand'rest in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and CBS, and the SEC.
