  • And so, with pomp and circumstance befit,
    doth Will and Kate their vows commit.
    In sight both plain and gentle done,
    in happy state become as one.

  • Shall I compare thee to a global warming?
    Thou art more hot and melt the glacier
    Of my unseemly and icy heart.

  • Tis the ass we should doubt, whilst doubt we the wise
    Which makes us,alas, the ass

  • To gas up the tank, or not-that alas is the question...to be held in extortion by Big Oil or defy all and get off the grid-What angst and suffering attends all, an unharmonious chaos reigns until technology be perfected.

  • A carnival of false sages
    Doth throw their voices through the air
    We throw thoughtless credit after coin
    And in unappeased thirst find that bitter dregs
    Do read like tea leaves:
    So much paid for yet so little.

  • This goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory;
    this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament,
    this majestical roof fretted with golden fire -
    why, it appeareth no other thing to me
    than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.
    What a piece of work is a man! They'll sit by the fire,
    and presume to know what's done i' the Capitol;
    Enough! Cry 'Havoc,'and let slip the blogs of Gore.

  • Barry, beware of Boehner; take heed of Cantor; come
    not near Romney; have an eye to Sarah; trust not Trump; mark
    well Michele Bachmann; Newt Gingrich loves thee not; thou hast
    wrong'd Tim Pawlenty. There is but one mind in all these people,
    and it is bent against Barry. If thou be'st not unbeatable, look
    about you: safety gives way to scheming. The mighty dollar
    defend thee!

  • Sayeth not, To Be or not to Be,
    whilst the Question is - o, heedeth me -
    To Pollute or not to Pollute,
    wich begets another final
    Quest: To perish or not to perish - yay or nay???
    Which fair and square the question is
    - so believeth me -
    O me - O me
    O thee - O thee -
    O vanitee, eternitee!

  • Cell phone-eo, oh cell phone-eo,
    Wherefore art thou, oh cell phone-eo?
    Deny I lost it, refuse to stop the search,
    And if it be right, buy another
    To remove me from my plight!

  • I look, the sky
    not doth shine, a moonbeam,
    nor twinkle in the indigo sky,
    the mist is grey, the building's alight,
    but not a fire is in sight,
    Wherever did my London go?
    My londons star's, twinkling bright.

  • This is one from my brother:

    Iambic pentameter! How sad the day/
    To see the Bard mistreated in this way!
