Sir Walter Scott vs Shakespeare By: Richard Davidson on 1/23/2003; 8:08 PM He rode across the prairie on the wings of slaves cementing bishops with his wiley drivel His books were light and airey on rice and balderdash stockings completing sentences on a swivel Aye, Nay, Not a Bloody Chance rules the vicar, with lovely elbows I've killed eleven partridges and yet have time for naught but tennis, manicures and chocolate pudding Shakespeare rides in first on a Harley of red and gold selling programs to the more guillable patrons they're written in Latin, of course and such is the price of popcorn in this century Mighty Sir Walter Scott armed with prose that bores takes chances that the crowd and foe can stay awake hurls the ball towards North hoping miracles will never cease finds a receiver in the crease who Shakespeare mows into Medieval Times his broker on the phone, he can't be bothered with cleaning up the drippings of a fool and now it's Ivanhoe, and faith be damned the eyelids of the Kings and Queens are melting one by one they fall, and stop the pelting of late hour beer and soda on the poor as Shakespeare sings light Opera from the moor content to gnaw on ferrets, Shakespeare's page attacks the Bard with words, in sullen rage a laugh, a sigh, a malicious prick upon the author, soon laughing himself sick and Walter Scott's words fall upon the ground his voice becomes a narrow, bleating sound and Shakespear plays his final card arousing all with sonnets from the Bard final score: Shakespeare 10 Sir Walter Scott 8

RE: Sir Walter Scott vs Shakespeare By: Richard Davidson on 1/25/2003; 7:55 PM So it's crap. Fine. Read the percotran story. Read the percotran story. Read the percotran story...
RE: Sir Walter Scott vs Shakespeare By: ScottN on 1/28/2003; 3:56 PM Richard, Christopher seems not to have constructive criticism, just put-downs. Tune him out.
RE: Sir Walter Scott vs Shakespeare By: Richard Davidson on 1/28/2003; 7:21 PM Well, that's why I didn't "critique" his poem, or whatever. I wanted to stay above it. I welcome one and all to critique my Percotran story, however. I really need the input. Maybe he'll say it's crap, and then tell me WHY. As for this poem, it's really not that great, anyway. I deserve to be attacked for having posted it. I really should try to keep up my standards.
