A recent challenge on another board:

Take one of Shakespeare's sonnets and write your own, using all of his end words.

My effort:

Based on WS's CXXXI

On seeing Art sans Paul, or Paul sans Art,
I shudder. How could two men be so cruel
And leave us naught to listen to but Heart,
Or Backstreet Boys, Celine Dion, or Jewel?
While in a record store, I still behold
Collected works; but I must staunch a groan.
For I have heard them all, and nothing bold,
Or new now has them both. They sing alone.
And to be sure I play them still, I swear.
He still leaves 'Celia just to wash his face.
And perhaps it would be much to bear
If he came back and no one took his place.
One song? One harmony? Such minute deeds
Spur art, and lift the pall that now proceeds.
