Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

He said it was hard,
Will Shakespeare (the Bard)
And he said he was scarred
Trying to rhyme "leotard"

Looking For Goldilocks

Does A Bear Sit In The Words?

A "bear" spotted roaming a Suffolk forest was actually an actor in costume promoting an outdoor production of Shakespeare. The actor was recreating the famous direction "Exit - pursued by a bear" from 'A Winter's Tale', in Rendlesham Forest. However, three people caused alarm when they reported seeing a bear in the woods.

FOOTNOTE: Forest grump.

Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

Alas, poor Yorick, he’s quite historic
But please forgive us if we sound euphoric
Shakespeare spoke of his "excellent fancy"
But wait till you meet his half-sister Nancy

Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

Did Mister Gingrich suffer from colic
At Shakespeare’s words (though hyperbolic)
Did the witches' "eye of Newt and toe of frog"
Make him cringe while it left us agog?
