Barbed Bard!

[musicbooks]

My Shakespeare paraphrase got me thinking.. How many more quotes could be applied to the Agattu saga.. Well here goes and any further contributions gratefully accepted.

here goes..
My e-bike my e-Bike, my kingdom for an e-bike.
Tomorrow tomorrow and tomorrow
Alas, poor Agattu, I never knew him
AtoB or not AtoB that is the question!
I didn't come to bury 50 cycles, I came to praise them.
Is this an Agattu I see before thee?
Hubble bubble toil and trouble ( make with that as you wish

Any more??

 

[Django]

Ohh, this should be fun.

This morning, I swear I heard the following eminating from my eZee Torq as it sat in the tomb-like garage feeling sorry for itself:

"Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Loughborough, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the next few weeks' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend."

What could it mean?

Then this came echoing across the air from Leicestershire fair:

"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the west, and Kalkhoff is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off."

Ah well, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door, but twill serve and with it all hope of coming to (electric) power.

Cheers,

Django

Brilliant Django, especially the first one, though whether it will be understood by the adversaries in question may be in doubt.
.

 

[Django]

"True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air
And more inconstant than the wind, who wooes
Even now the frozen bosom of the north,
And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence,
Turning his face to the dew-dropping south."

Cheers,

Django

 

[tgame]

There are more waits in heaven and earth
Than your philosophy dreams of . . .

 

[tgame]

O, methinks, how slow
This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires,
Like to a step-dame or a dowager
Long withering out a young man's desire

 

[Django]

And from lands further afield, another echo, to ears apeeled:

"Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me"

Cheers,

Django

 

[musicbooks]

And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.

Expectation is the root of all heartache.

Beauty is all very well at first sight; but whoever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?

Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.

If you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then unto me.

Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore, so do our minutes, hasten to their end. (Tell me about it, Bill!)

Is there no end to such delicious sorrow

This could run and run!

My Shakespeare is very sparse, but 'As you like it' springs to mind, for some reason? I hope the title is appropriate!

I'm very impressed though with all the literary dexterity!

Stuart.

 

[Django]

Well, 'Much Ado About Nothing', it aint. 'The Comedy of Errors' it is. 'Love's Labours Lost' is quite pertinent and whether, 'All's Well That Ends Well' remains to be seen.

Cheers,

Django

Touché!

Trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate.

Shake spear? Pah! This is propper pottery.

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki
Well she was sellin' pineapple, playin' ukulele
And when I went to the girl, come on and teach me to sway
She laughed and whispered to me, yes come tonight to the bay

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singin' this song

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

And down on the shore they gather romance
She showed me much more, not only to dance...

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singin' this song

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to

[Django]

Methink'st thou art a general offence and every man should beat thee. O teach me how I should forget to think, thou crusty botch of nature! Hence, horrible villain, or I'll spurn thine eyes like balls before me; I'll unhair thy head, Thou shalt be whipp'd with wire, and stew'd'in brine, smarting in lingering pickle, idol of idiot-worshippers!

Cheers,

Django

I think you missed the point.. though you could change Aga-doo-doo-doo to Aga tuu -tuu-tuu and that would make perfect sense!

Mahatma Gandhi said
"There is more to life than simply increasing its speed".
Its clear that he never had an electric bike!

[Django]

"A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

Django
