How Do I Loathe Thee? How do I loathe thee, let me count the ways.When I see you standing there smiling at me,I regret that I did not run away and flee.When you open your mouth and I hear you speak,It disgusts me so much that I just want to shriek. When I look at your face it makes me so sick,I get a deep yearning to smash it in with a brick.When you try to get near me it makes me quiver,I long to knock you down and rip out your liver. When I see you laying there sleeping in our bed,My inner voice tells me to sever your head.I loathe thee immensely I can no longer wait for the day,To see you drop dead and your corpse rot and decay! With these ill feelings I must now cut out your heart,And into the darkness your soul will depart.I have loathed thee for so long and in so many ways,Good riddance poisonous thorn and a Happy Valentine’s Day!

How Do I Loathe Thee?

How do I loathe thee, let me count the ways.
When I see you standing there smiling at me,
I regret that I did not run away and flee.
When you open your mouth and I hear you speak,
It disgusts me so much that I just want to shriek.

When I look at your face it makes me so sick,
I get a deep yearning to smash it in with a brick.
When you try to get near me it makes me quiver,
I long to knock you down and rip out your liver.

When I see you laying there sleeping in our bed,
My inner voice tells me to sever your head.
I loathe thee immensely I can no longer wait for the day,
To see you drop dead and your corpse rot and decay!

With these ill feelings I must now cut out your heart,
And into the darkness your soul will depart.
I have loathed thee for so long and in so many ways,
Good riddance poisonous thorn and a Happy Valentine’s Day!
