LOVE BLOG 4: Select two of the most unique words and phrases in the first act (words you've never heard of), and develop a silly four-line poem. Due by Thursday.
Friends, hello! Sirrah, sirrah, We don't have to walk all that far Don't ever stand still like a ratty old crowkeeper Use your legs and be a frog-leaper!
Derek Mollohan One time I made an enormous shift. It was actually to some stranger I met on a ski lift. I told him how much I loved the wizard of oz. He responded that he watched it al the time with his coz.
Both of us practiced our heretics we were the best in the house. Until we had to meet in a horrible joust. So unfortunate, he died right there, I took him out when he dropped his tatier.
Oh hello, you seem like a man of esteem; But I'm not naive, and everything is not what it may seem; Oh, you say our families they loath each other; Thats terrible, I may as well be six feet under!
Sampson wishes Gregory to 'remember thy swashing blow' But obviously, Sampson does not know That they have 'thrice disturb'd the quiet of the streets' And the consequences for such, they hopefully will not meet
Welcome, gentlemen! Ladies that have their toes Unplagued with corns will walk a bout with you. Come forth gentlemen of esteem, be bold! A torch you shall not hold.
Ah, coz, fetch me my rapier i must propogate my dignity and in these cowards strike fear With Dian's Wit, i shall devise a plan and appear This doesnt make sense but it rhymes, so its poetic my dear
Well here he comes, my life long adversary picking another quarrel with me until I find the strength to call him a clown and as I stroll away, I see him frown.
EXAMPLE:
ReplyDeleteFriends, hello! Sirrah, sirrah,
We don't have to walk all that far
Don't ever stand still like a ratty old crowkeeper
Use your legs and be a frog-leaper!
Sit here, while you are importuned
ReplyDeleteI have many questions to ask of you.
First question, are you tetchy?
Because you seem very sketchy.
I would ask you to bout,
ReplyDeletebut must you really pout?
I do have a shrift,
please don't drift away.
Excuse me sir, are you a collier?
ReplyDeleteBecause when you walk by no one seems to care.
You never seem to eat scant,
so why are you always on a rant?
Don't make me take out my sword
ReplyDeleteDon't you be a ward
Please don't chant
Or are you a scant?
Would you pass me a trencher?
ReplyDeleteOr are you in need of a stretcher?
Don't fleer at help,
Simply let out a yelp.
Do you quarrel, sir?
ReplyDeleteWhy yes I quarrel sir,
Well then God gi' go-den,
And I hope to not see you around this garden

ReplyDeleteBut I'm not naive, and everything is not what it may seem;
Oh, you say our families they loath each other;
Thats terrible, I may as well be six feet under!
Shall the beetle brows blush?
ReplyDeleteOr is the date out of such prolixity,
Will you tickle the senseless rush?
Or are civil brawls bred of a word airy.

ReplyDeleteSampson wishes Gregory to 'remember thy swashing blow'
But obviously, Sampson does not know
That they have 'thrice disturb'd the quiet of the streets'
And the consequences for such, they hopefully will not meet
Don't run away, you heartless hinds!
ReplyDeleteNo use, they've gone; I've half a mind
to prosecute them, or raise their tax,
for they are not good men of wax.
Will you have this measure?
ReplyDeleteIt would be my pleasure
So please don’t be tetchy
I hope you know this wasn’t easy
You are so Pernicious
ReplyDeleteIt is really rediculus
I am augmenting tears
Because of my fear
Why must you be so tyrannous?
ReplyDeleteYou act like you are a rhinosoeros,
You must stop the assailing
And start the smiliing.
Swashing swashing everywhere
ReplyDeleteQuick quick grab me my rapier!
This sneaky little heartless hind
Will be given a piece of my mind
I run in mud, they call me lord,
ReplyDeleteI'm always messy, though I'm a ward.
I know I can't help these awful stirs,
So I might get a job with some colliers.

ReplyDeleteWelcome, gentlemen! Ladies that have their toes
Unplagued with corns will walk a bout with you.
Come forth gentlemen of esteem, be bold!
A torch you shall not hold.
Ah, coz, fetch me my rapier
ReplyDeletei must propogate my dignity and in these cowards strike fear
With Dian's Wit, i shall devise a plan and appear
This doesnt make sense but it rhymes, so its poetic my dear
Behold fellow colliers,
ReplyDeletethis is the mark of the bombardier
You all are grave beseeming,
and don't look very redeeming
Well here he comes, my life long adversary
ReplyDeletepicking another quarrel with me
until I find the strength to call him a clown
and as I stroll away, I see him frown.
I walked through the propagate
ReplyDeleteTo see what I could find
But since I got real tetchy
I fell on my behind
Amy Harmon
ReplyDeleteNay, you are disparagement
your rancor makes you predominant
O, then I see the proxility
Becuase of all your enmity
You are such a pernicious person
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see you I worsen
Even when my tears inundate the floor
All you do is taunt me more
Oh goodman boy
ReplyDeleteI've caught you in your ploy
If you're going to set cock-a-hoop
you should keep me out of the loop
