Sonnet 43 Parody

Sonnet 43 
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. A

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height B

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight B

For the ends of being and ideal grace. A

I love thee to the level of every day’s A

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. B

I love thee freely, as men strive for right. B

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. A

I love thee with the passion put to use C

In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. A

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose C

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath, D

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, C

I shall but love thee better after death. D 
  
How do I love coffee? Let me count the list.         
I love thee plain, lacking sweetness and cream, 
  You make my heart happy as if in a dream. 
My days are empty without thee in my midst, 
When you are beside me, my mind can untwist. 
You give brightness to days desperate for a gleam. 
Though times may be trying, thy warmth makes me beam. 
Thy scent is a potion that makes me feel blissed. 
I love thee, oh coffee, with thee I am complete, 
Why must I need thee to subsist? 
No one, no nothing with thee can compete. 
I have an obsession of thee I must shrive, 
If I must ever lose thee, my heart will not beat. 
Thy existence is what forces me to survive.
