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.
