SHAKESPEARE GNOMES
Six Tailgaters, Second Selection
Listen to the author read his Shakespeare Gnomes 2
Attraction
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her womanhood, for I am merely male.
Daydreams
O what men dare do! What men may do!
It’s fun to think what women may do too!
Owlishness
Few should be woo’d and were not made to woo,
It matters not a whit, to wit, nor who.
Falstaff’s Callgirl
I follow him to serve my turn upon him–
The others do not even care to con him.
Genomic Imperative
Asses are made to bear, and so are you
Made to bare your ass to quite a few.
Pursuit
My words fly up, my thoughts remain below
The waistline where I most would like to go.
