A bloggy valentine

In response to Rebecca's call for bloggy Valentine sonnets

How do I blog thee? Let
Me count the odious ways.
As a producer of sweat
Thou compares to a summer's day.

I blog thee a fool,
a villain, a back door
spammer, a stool
pigeon turned crack whore.

You are so shreddible,
A vampire twice-bitten,
a journalist non-credible,
an eater of kittens.

Yes, each hateful word, suspect or ratty
Does, my love, boost you at technorati.

Rebecca gives double points if you podcast it, but that would require making the thing scan, so never mind.

Not that I'm a specialist, but shouldn't it be "thou comparest"? (correct me if I'm mistaken)

Neat sonnet :-)

Sorry. I'm Japanese. I don't believe in Valentine's or sonnets, but here's a Haiku for you.
