Pea Sonnet

Shall I compare thee to an Easter egg?
Or are you really much more like Nick Clegg?
Or would 'You're like a shoe' be more astute?
Either way you'd look quite cute.
But don't decide in too much of a rush
Between peas served discretely and peas in a mush.
As fish supper accomp'niments, both have their charms
But only one leaves you without legs or arms.
It's never been easy to tell them apart,
But Inspector McGrew had it down to an art.
You could tell by the size and the colour and shape
It wasn't an ordinary man's kind of cape.
And that's when I realised he was Superman,
And with that my troubles all really began.
I was chased by a man with a thumb for a nose
Who could hitch a lift with his hand in his clothes.
He couldn't catch me because I'm so fast
He ran for a mile 'fore a second elapsed.
