Pumpkin Sonnet

When trolling Twitter, rarely do I see
A tweet with hints of literary skill
Or fondness for the art of poetry.
‘Tis barely prose! ‘Tis such a bitter pill!

Now lost is knowledge of the structured verse
And unappreciated wit that’s keen.
‘Tis all but absent now and what is worse,
Were all that to appear, ‘twould go unseen.

But, lo, a tweet scrolls by! Did I just sight
A post that seems Shakespearean in tone?
Methinks it’s true! At once, my heart takes flight!
A message clearly meant for me alone.

Five iambs pure in form, yet quite grotesque:
“I need a tiny pumpkin for my desk.”
