Interlude: Shakespearean Spanking!

 Speaking of the Bard~!

There was a dumb rhyme we used to say as kids: "Shakespeare!  Kick in in the rear!"

This is similar, but classier:

  1. Shakespeare would be a lot more fun if there were more spankings....even the Taming of the Shrew didn't really have one!

    1. "That he's mad, 'tis true, 'tis true 'tis pity...?" :-D I recall, Glen', in 8th grade, pouring through my mom's copy of the Shakespeare plays, trying to find the non-existent spanking scene in "Shrew!"
      One of the wonderful things about William's work is all the valid interpretations his plays will hold! I have seen spanking included in some, even sans "stage directions!"

    2. "Poring through" is, of course, what I meant, but if I were going to make some liquid pun...

    3. The shrew reference to a sting in her tail was an open invitation to a spanking !

  2. Hi! Dave, it is certainly different, I never really liked poetry at school! Bye for now, Jenny.

    1. It can be made to be really dull, Jenny-- but song lyrics are poetry, and limericks, and large parts of Lewis Carroll's "Alice" stories.
      I tend to be insensitive to a lot of poetry myself, that is, a lot of it that apparently lifts some people into rapture effects me not at all! But there are bits I do enjoy a lot!
      But I thought the talk about a custom that would be better left off than done would be pretty funny recited by our OTK birthday girl!

    1. Cole Porter wrote a song about Shakespeare and a brush! But it was something different!
