Happy 450th Birthday William Shakespeare

That gay guy?

From chamber dark, the summons comes, some spell,
Of virile gods, the fertile goddess's knell,
And so once more, into the breach, dear friends,
'Mongst blood and screams, a chapter new begins,
Pink mewling thing, wetnurse's palm doth strike
Ignomious, the mother cradles tyke,
Who grows by weeks, and inches, pounds and tooth,
This lingual father's brain blossoms, forsooth,
So many a phrase flows bloodless from his hand,
Of love and lust, betrayal, lives of man,
Will die with graceful words, or none at all,
"Et tu brute?" Then Caesar, fall.
And none can wash away the Bard's damned spot,
His stain is left upon each summoned plot,
So many words are writ, derived I fear,
From that proud pup the ages dub Shakespeare.

Came in to make a similar joke. shite.

Like a boss

Got dayum that's great, free

And?

All I know about Shakespeare from the 3 or 4 plays I have seen is that the barefoot guy in any of them is a "rustic".

He really was ahead of his time, even had an affirmative action play about Othello without there being any black people in England to speak of. How did he know to do that? prescience

I wish Hollywood would release a movie version of The Merchant of Venice.
