Seussspeare!
Mar. 4th, 2012 11:10 amFrom Twitter yesterday, the #Seussspeare tag, mingling together the Immortal Bard and the singer of the Cat and the Hat. Some notable entries included:
Hope Dellon, with: #SeussSpeare "I sat there with Juliet./We sat there, we two,/And I said, 'How I wish/I were no Montague.'"
Anne Jamison, with: ""Is this a dagger?" Macbeth asked the air/ "I can't feel the handle but I swear it's right there!" #SeussSpeare"
Dave Wingate, with: "Lay on you crazy Scott Macduff, I hear your untimely birth was rough. #SeussSpeare"
Charles R. Kaiser, with: "I would not, could not kill the King. I would not murder anything. Green Eggs and Hamlet #SeussSpeare"
Naturally I had to join in. My contributions:
Oh Brutus. Would you, could you bury him? Would you, could you, praise him? The odds I sooth seem quite slim. #SeussSpeare
I'm Henry the Eighth I am; of course I'll eat green eggs and ham, once I execute some queens, Madame. #SeussSpeare
Unless someone like you murders a whole lot; it's not going to get better, Hamlet. It's not. #Seussspeare
But we in it shall be remembered, if that is we aren't dismembered, on this St. Crispin's Day, Now off! We have French to slay #seussspeare [This was, not surprisingly, the least popular of the lot. People just don't like dismemberment, do they?]
And finally, my masterpiece*:
I meant what I said and I said what I meant; Hamlet's got issues 100% #seussspeare
* Look, "masterpiece" means different things to different people.
