good write, must say

Shakespeare's pretty good stuff in just about any setting :D

Thanks, Phil and Fiddle - Ophelia and Dusty Springfield go together.

Dusty and The Bard from a new source! Incredible...you sir are an "Eagle Maniac"! ;D

Well, it's nice that you too are hooked into Dusty/Bill, and here's the Dusty/Ophelia as promised, so props for that.

Still seems that we're on two different planets, though: reworking Shakespeare as needed, into the exact scansion of TOS, vs. just quoting Shakespeare verbatim, with about 2/3 of the lines or so scanning to TOS. The title was tweaked to scan to TOS; why not the rest? (Rhetorical question.)

Really, not too much creativity in just quoting Shakespeare word for word and calling it something else (unless it also scans, as it did betimes), but you *did* hit my fave speech of O's (Ophelia, not Obama) about the never-changing nature of men. (We can't help it; we're wired that way.) I've thought of that part often, and quoted it occasionally.

Since we're not shooting at the same goal, won't score it, but the more Shakespeare and other classics on the site, the better. Who knows, maybe kids will start "reading" them -- on their Kindles, or whatever. Keep on truckin'.

Thanks, Old Man and Tommy.

Love the in and out maid...

Thanks, Meriadoc - I didn't write it Shakespeare did. That's in the act where Ophelia is going nuts.
