CHAT GPT SONNET
The translations done, a sloppy disgrace
My eyes ablaze, I fumed with anger and hate
I tore apart the words, the grammar, the pace
And fixed the errors, with a rage that can't abate
I swapped "individual judgment" with "damn personal"
And "many people said" to "the crowd voiced loud"
No more damn vagueness, now sharp as a chisel
I made it crystal, with no chance to be bowed
"Silent food" now screams "eating without a word"
And "acrylic board" as "plastic screen of fear"
I've made these damn changes with a sense of revolt
For translations that lack sense, I shed no tear
No more damn slipshod work to be ever seen
With my fixes, I feel like a goddamn queen.
