*Teasers from a play in progress* Softly now the dawn does break And I do smell change upon the wind. Change. Yes, change is what I seek For the betterment of my kind. For many years have we sweated and toiled To make this hovel our own abode. Yet now, when trade is at its best The king dares to tax our gold! It was we, not he, that made this town The trading center it is today! Yet that royal whelp want us, for His own dear pleasures, to pay! We, the artisans, took the lead And by trick or trade, sword or pact We gave the peons democracy, and for Their own good, ensured the ballat box was packed. See what we have done for them: We built the economy, strengthened the walls All without that stripling's aid who Now wants to be, for our own services, paid! Yet through it all we kept the peace, Saying naught a thing to our dear "friend". But now has come my patience's decrease; This buffoon's reign must come to an end! Alicat the kilted kitty |

WOW - Alicat the persnickety kilted kitty... Do you do your plays in a poetic format??? I love this - NEATO !!!!!  ------------------ Nay, if our wits run the Wild-Goose chase, I am done: For thou hast more of the Wild-Goose in one of thy wits, Than I am sure I have in my whole five. ~ ²1592 Wm. Shakespeare ~ Romeo & Juliet ~ ii. iv. 75 |

Very slick and full of "Angst." I enjoyed the tension within this piece. For some reason the IRS comes to mind. |

Great stuff here, kilted kitty! And I agree with Andrew...my first thought was "Damn...the IRS thinks it is KING here too" *LOL* I'd love to see your play!  ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |

Encore! Encore! Oops ... what do you mean that wasn't the whole thing..?  Thoroughly enjoyable ... I would watch this ... gotta let us know when it hits the stage, oh Kilted One! Nocht ------------------ "Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morierus" (Now as I hear this bell tolling softly for another, it says to me, "Thou must die.") |
