Flowers for the bard!

Oh, I love it!

Referencing Shakespearean witches and Alice to highlight the utter insanity of it all. It's perfect!

ferntwist · 23/09/2018 21:07

Ha this is brilliant!

theOtherPamAyres · 23/09/2018 21:18

Grin A magnificent tour de force. Here, have a Glitterball glitterball

I love a bit of satire, me, and that three-parter hits the parts that others ...etc etc. Her Mayorjesty, indeed. Wink

This is SUPERB.

Read it, read it, everybody. It's marvellous.

Thanks for sharing. I wish I could write like that. Wow.

PersistenceIsNotFutile · 23/09/2018 21:32

Dear Connor was with us that day. He's an absolute star.

R0wantrees · 23/09/2018 21:35

I wonder if Francis Barber if she would like to narrate it?

It is amazing. Even better if you can read it with a Scouse accent - I'd love to perform it! Not sure I could without laughing myself silly Grin

BlardyBlar · 23/09/2018 21:52

Brilliant!

Poppyred85 · 23/09/2018 22:25

I might start posting “Double, double toil and trouble” on goady threads to acknowledge my t*rf status!

oneWeirdReSister · 23/09/2018 22:29

Couldn't resist a name change.

KatVonGulag · 23/09/2018 22:33

Magical work Glitterball

"Joe's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. His is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”

Flowers Genius! Thank you Grin
heresyandwitchcraft · 23/09/2018 22:53

Fantastic piece! Thanks to the formidable ReSisters and Connor for the support/amazing writing! Grin

scepticalwoman · 23/09/2018 23:04

Connor is an absolute gem! That's great writing - and very witty.

BoreOfWhabylon · 23/09/2018 23:21

Sheer brilliance!

ALL TERFS
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Someone MUST tweet Frances Barber and ask her to recite it!

BitOfFun · 23/09/2018 23:41

Superb!

I was inspired this morning:

‘Twas brillig, and the solvy terves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the forumgroves,
And the trans-raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Andersock, my girl
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Doyleup bird, and shun
The frumious Harrosnatch!”

She took her vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe she sought—
So rested she by the Tweetle tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in buxome thought she stood,
The Andersock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the chambry wood,
And snargled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
She left it dead, and with its head
She went terforbering back.

“And hast thou slain the Andersock?
Come to my arms, my beamish girl!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
She chortled in a whirl.

‘Twas brillig, and the solvy terves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the forumgroves,
And the trans-raths outgrabe.
