A HOUSE DIVIDED
Hugh Laurie,
what's the story?
Just when I got used 'ta
you as Bernie Wooster
you swapped your perfectly proper set of British jawbones
for the cranky twang of an American sawbones
known for his medical brilliance,
and, in the process, you made millions,
yet when that happened, you came down a rung,
debasing, as you have, Will Shakespeare's tongue,
and leaving Stephen Fry
to wonder why.
