Not marble, nor the gilded monuments

Smell unending, tormented bathroom!

When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes

I am the sunny, two-faced, sneering swineherd.
I am an unhinged wrencher of tidy sweetness.

I've tried to modernise Shakespeare's comparison of two types of female charm by rewriting it in the mode of modern Northern realism:

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun

‘A reet skinny hussy?’ he leers. ‘No! Gimme tits!’

From fairest creatures we desire increase.

Sweatier, safe, merrier seducers fornicate.
Terrific swearers desecrate nefarious me.
Weird sorcerer nauseates carefree misfit.

Scrabble tiles are the answer. All my previous posts are bullshit. This is definitive. To paraphrase the divine Hilaire Belloc, I've done quite enough of this horrible stuff and I don't want to do any more. It's obsessional.


When forty winters shall besiege thy brow

Hate fresh, greeny, wobbly owl shit!

And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field

Trite fancy lady bunged sheep shit. Indeed!

Thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now

O Dot, new zoo lady, hoover syrupy gnu shit.

Will be a tottered weed of small worth held.

Or we tell them toad shit, O lewd dwarf belle.

Then, being asked where all thy beauty lies

Neal, the brainy weedy geek, hates bull shit.

Where all the treasure of thy lusty days:

Leery, easy Hull whores hate fatty turds.

To say within thine own deep sunken eyes

Yon weeny nudie poet wins the snake shit.

Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise

A thief wanders in Penge, steals rare llama shit.

Oh my god, I think I'm going to die laughing! Who knew the bard's eternal lines could be perverted so?

Alas, Roger, she may not, but Art will not be denied.

What a hideous competition. Very glad to have it over with.

I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
Flutes, A Ho chi Minh toy, a shagging kit.
