Still, I spentmuch less to dress myself from head to toe.To save or not to save? The question’s moot.I’ll never give my coin to high-street crooks.These dusty shelves will yield their hidden lootto those, like me, more frugal in their looks.Like ancient coins washed up on distant shores,I’ll find my treasures in these thrifty stores. - Macklemore, “Thrift Shoppe”*Crying with laughter*ITS IN IAMBIC PENTAMETER. SWEET JESUS THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE THING.THIS IS THE MOST BRILLIANT POSY I HAVE EVER SEEN.Guys, that’s not only Iambic, that’s a fucking sonnet. *claps*Grammatically correct for the period and a couple of references to Shakespeare’s actual works.I’m sincerely impressed.® -- source link
