Crossing guard sonnet #1

Shall i compare you to a crossing guard?

You are less stoic and less calm and kind

Neighing horses do break the silence hard

but a crossing guard really doesn't mind

Sometime too rash a student rushes by

and often will they not even say thanks

And many drivers seem drunk, even high

as they toot their horns worth two million francs

Oh, were you like a calm crossing guard, dear

I would raise you the seventh heaven!

I would praise you to the world, far and near

In IKEA and 7-11!

Alas, you are just a guy in a suit

mansplaining me in our daily commute.
