Textually intervene in sonnet No18 by changing some of the key words. You can alter its meaning and/or change its subject completely.
Have fun!

  1. Shall I compare thee to a spring landscape?
    Thou art more colourful and alive
    Rough winds blow softly in your hair
    And we can think that is our last day

    Sometime thou feel yourself out of choir
    And often I feel at the same way
    And every moment ca be gloomy
    By our humor or feelings

    But thy eternal smile can't bring us to an end
    Nor can somebody damage our lives
    Nor can somebody hurt us
    When we stay together forever

    So long as the world can live
    So long as the peace is the everyday life.

  2. Shall I compare thee to the cool air of spring?
    Thou art more calm and radiant
    Light winds do shake the buds of March,
    And spring's lease has soon an end

    Sometime is too cold the mountain breeze,
    And often rains on the green grass
    But every fair from fair doesn't fade away
    By chance or by nature's wish

    Thy eternal spring must not fade,
    Nor the spring will cease to exist
    Nor your beauty will die
    When in these eternal lines thou will be remembered

    So long as a man can love and forgive
    So long lives him and he could always believe.

  3. Shall I compare thee to a nice dream?
    Thou art more peaceful and mellow.
    Rough winds break my scream
    And in them I find my fellow.

    Sometimes too fast the rain fall,
    And often can not see her goodness,
    And she goes through every wall,
    As my dreams hide my loneliness.

    But suddenly my dreams vanish,
    And I am throw to reality,
    And quietly the sun so selfish
    steals my dear with brutality.

    So long as men let their imagination wander.
    So long as I will look behind your shoulder.

  4. Shall I compare thee to a monkey?
    Thou art more stupid and more noisy
    Rough winds do shake the little neuron in your brain,
    And clever ideas hath all too short a date.

    Sometime you try to think,
    and often you seem to sleep,
    And every idea from idea always declines,
    By chance or intelligence's chanching course untrimmed.

    But thy eternal foolishness shall not fade
    nor lose possession of that emptyness thou ow'st,
    Nor shall your teachers try to make you clever
    When in eternal dark thou grow'st.

    So long as you can breathe or drink or eat
    So long you live in your silly world.

  5. Shall I compare you to a puppy?
    Thou art more lively and nice!
    Your eyes are bigger and sweeter,
    and when I look at you I become happy too!

    Sometimes puppy's tale doesn't move
    and often they are scared and tired.
    But your smile is always on your face
    and you cannot stop to laugh and play!

    So long as I can stay with you
    so long I will enjoy myself too!
