Eat Your Heart Out, Shakespeare

[walking into spotlight]

[striking dramatic pose]

 

Poo bee...

... or NOT poo bee?

That is the question.


[raising fist to the heavens]


Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer 

the slings and arrows of outrageous fortunes,


Or to take arms against a sea of tribbles!

["Meep?"]

and by opposing...

END THEM.

["MEEP!"]

 

[raising both arms and bellowing]


Tie dye!!


To seep no more!

And by a sheep,

today we end the heartache

and the thousand natural shocks...

... is that a hair?! EW!

[Ahem.]

'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.


Tie dye, to seep, perchance on buttercream!


Aye,

There's the flub.


Blow, winds, and crack your heartfelt thanks to Jennifer T., Janet, Carol F., Lilly P., Amanda M., Alli S., Christy L., Sarah F., Sarah Jane, Brittany B., Paige H., and Karyn T, our Shakespearean pros.

PS: Been a while since English Lit 101? Then here, let me google that for you:

"To be, or not to be, that is the question:

Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer

The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,

Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep

No more; and by a sleep, to say we end

The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks

That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep,

To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there's the rub."

And if you think those are batty, check these bebehs out:

3D Halloween Bats, Exterior Grade, 60 pc set

They're made of sturdy plastic, come in 4 different sizes, and have adhesive pads to easily stick them up anywhere in or outside your home. (I put a whole belfry of them on our front door.) (I don't know if "belfry" is right, but I'm going with it. :D) Even better, the whole 60 piece set is only $9 Prime!

Rhymin' Wreckers

What if cakes were the last lines in really bad poems?

Come, my friends. LET US DREAM TOGETHER.

 

Work anniversary
Head of the class
A lousy coffee cup??

 

You'll get no bars here
No cells in this park
So let's give a cheer:

 

Not sure how it works -
The questions are numerous
Still, hooray for you!

 

Like, this is totes "no"
ROTFL 4ever
ANYway, so,

 

Beard scruff and muscles
Scratchin' all day
Something that rhymes with muscles

 

With age comes wisdom
If I may be so bold
To the smartest friend I know:

 

I'm hip and I'm fly
All the bros know me
Ladies, I go by

 

Thanks to Anony M., Sarah S., Derek, Anony M., Melissa H., Karen T., & Hannah D. for helping us celebrate Bad Poetry Day without even knowing it.

P.S. Here's a (hilarious) reminder that English is almost as confusing as these cakes:

P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever

Also THE best gift for baby showers and kids' birthdays, if you like to sprinkle a little chaos in your friends' lives. Mwuahahaa.
