Sonnet by Mohammed Abed 811

Shall I compare thee to a new pair of sneakers?
The fresh smell when it comes out the box,
Playing basketball and then hitting them buzzer-beaters, 
Wearing my blue elite socks, 
People staring at my kicks,
Asking where I got them from,
Everyone saying that they are so sick,  
I tell them first give me a piece of bubble gum,
But the sneakers will soon get old,
Everyone will soon forget about them,
Then someone else will be bold, 
Come into school with their new gem, 
Every time you walk in with new kicks people see, 
You shouldn't go on a sneaker shopping spree.
