Am I late? I'm late but it's STILL April 15th where I'm standing. Ah, April 15th, income tax day in the US. I couldn't find any good poetry about taxes so we're going with that other certainty in life, death. To sweeten it a little we're going to throw in Stephen Fry, some Dwarves, an Oscar winning former elf and a bunch of other people. You know what I'm talking about, right? Well, some of you do. How can we celebrate poetry without Shakespeare? I can't. My high school Shakespeare teacher, Mr. K, would haunt me. Hopefully wherever he is the powder blue leisure suit passed the dress code. Anyway, enjoy!

Hi Jazzy,
ReplyDeleteThat was fun to see again!
Thanks and Cheers! Grati ;->
You're welcome!
DeleteWho would have thought that Hamlet's single soliloquy could be done so well by so many people in one sitting! I thorough;y enjoyed that!
ReplyDeleteLOL, it reminded me of the Dr. Suess Burning Man one.
DeleteI've always wondered myself who would fardels bear. A burning question. I also love that there are women in this.
ReplyDeleteSo do I. And I kept hearing "fardels bear" as "Bartleby" which is just wrong.
DeleteOne thing I liked about this edition of it was that the way they integrated that line, they more or less admitted that the line just sounds funny now. The more I watched this, the more things i found to like about it. Starting with Stephen Fry in a tone of resignation was masterful.
