If Shakespeare knew HTML Do you think he’d have a website? Would millions read his poetry? Would he still be as erudite? Would a rose by any other name Be a graphic you could download Would Hamlet know poor Yorik Without a programmer’s code? Would Romeo find Juliet On a Yahoo personal ad Would MacBeth, if he could surf Turn out so wickedly bad? Poetry would still be written If Shakespeare knew HTML And if he did he would probably Turn out to be Ron Carnell! [This message has been edited by Poet deVine (edited 10-03-1999).] |

Great ending, Lady deVine, and I wholeheartedly agree with it! ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." "Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near..." |

LOL indeed. PDV - I like your poetry muchly. (BUT CHRISTOPHER!!!! I'm shocked! Wherefore art thou doesn't mean 'Where are you?' it meant - for Juliet, WHY was her love the son of her father's enemy!!!! Tchtchtch.....J/K. One of the most common literary misconceptions - Shakespeare would turn in his grave... heheheh - caught you out!) |

Dear, it seems that t'was you who did misunderstand, for my words were meant to be a satirical reference to the late great! (so there, you didn't catch me, I was one step ahead!) |

Yes, Shakespeare does have a website now. Just look at how many times he's qoated on a day to day basis, right here! This is very nice, and cute, too. ------------------ O all ye powers that he implanted, Arise, keep silence no more; put forth the strength that he hath granted, your noblest work is to adore. |

Great style, such panache, brilliant plug. It’s one of those one would wish she/he had thought of it before. Do tell me you will write additional verses!!! To the top you go. |

Wouldn't it be nice to have shared a room with Beethoven or Shakespeare? Then, when someone remarked upon hearing one of their compositions, "Isn't that great!", you could say, "Yep, my roommate wrote it." |

Ron, you have been immortalzed!

Nocht ------------------ "Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morierus" (Now as I hear this bell tolling softly for another, it says to me, "Thou must die.") |
