Oh! Vestal Kindred Smithery

Enter Mariot, Ferry and Helbot in the background, messing about.

Mariot. What love is't that breaks
the heart of the giver?
Why doth it eat my soul?
Ferry. Because it is hungry for what it seeks?
Mariot. But why is it then Love?
Ferry. It doth beateth me so.
Helbot makes noise
Ferry. Who goes there? What ho?
Helbot. I art no ho. I bring thee news of angels, poisons, and witches.
Mariot. How so? The witches were poisoned
by the Angels of the Hell.
Helbot. Oh, what sweet shock!
Shock! Shock! How
do you know?
Ferry. Aye though we walk in the shadows of light,
we fear no evil. We have't so harsh
like th' winds of Vienna in the street
where we live.
Mariot. What he says, through such
muddy paths, is that
we told the Angels of Hell
to do it.
Helbot. Oh! You pretty things! Don't you know
you are driving your mother and father
insane!
Ferry. I was not born of woman.
All exeunt

Enter Three Blythe Spirits
Blythe Spirit 1. I art stronger in death
than I e'er were in strife!
B.S. 2. You are indeed, with nose of Bosnia-Herzogovnian
we make our sour drink, and ready with goblet!
B.S. 3. Eye of Peruvian Tree Swinger and leaf of Cactus
that loathsome Ferry thought he had fuck'd us!
B.S. 1. But lo he hath but made us better,
as we add the juice, to make it wetter.
All. Call back our wrath if you dare!
We are now waiting by the fire, on a chair.
What goes now will forever be bound,
By the perilous realm that you have now found!
All exeunt

Enter Mariot, Ferry and Helbot.
Ferry. The beast is abroad, the Angels of Hell
have decieved our twisted aims!
Helbot. What, ho?
Mariot. He art no ho. The witches
are back.
Helbot: Sh't.
All Exeunt.

Applause

Happy Birthday Will

  1. Very good blog today sir.

    Shakespeare walks into a bar - barman says "Get out, you Bard!" - ok that one doesn't really work that well when you write it down.

    I'll go for my other favourite joke:
    "How do you get Pikachu on a bus? - Poke-him-on!"

    Who needs Mr. Bean when you have comedy genius like me hanging around...

    BA DUM TISH!
