Some Shakespeare Banter

Advocating the use of a bigger car for a whitewater rafting adventure (Kevin B.):
I think your steed, being of mighty girth,
Might lend itself more fairly to the task:
To squeeze five persons as twins joined at birth,
Who venture forth in white water to bask

Response:
Well spoke, good and steadfast friend of mine
For thy teacher's role, I thank thee much,
And what of this here humble rhyme:
Dost thou think it hath magic touch?

Response (Lisa W.)
Most impressed am I, for thine wit is fast,
i shall be most eager whilst in thine steed,
to hear exchange of clever minds doth thou hast,
Inspiring praise and adulation resounding as "sheed!"

Inquiring about weekend plans:
Where art thou naughty imp?
What mischief abounds this end-of-week?
Surely some nefarious scheme
Up thy sleeve hast thou in keep.

I doth diggeth the Williamesque charm of ye old English tongue. Forsooth, ne'er a sentence can I write in its righteous form. Tis but a passing sorrow, for far better to write wrongly and have writ, than wrongly not write for fear of being not right. And yet, I doth fear being right, e'er since strumpet Palin hath entered the fray for kingdomship.

With this I bring to hasty end
Word-play which I do defend.Response (Kevin B.)
Tis most excellent indeed -
With your leave I would use your prose in class
As an example to behold for all
For truly you have answered Shakespeare's call

Response
Of course you have my leave, good K
For you leave no stone unturn-ed
In showing the Shakespearian way
To those who wish to be learn-ed!

On Avastin vs. Lucentis:
Antoinette's "no bread? Eat cake!"
Missive didst roundly dismiss
Her subjects, and is re-incarnate
As "No Avastin? take Lucentis!"

On women (Kevin B.)
The fairer sex is most unfair indeed,
For in affairs of love I fare not well:
The most fair of them will not speak to me
Except perchance they say "Fare thee well";
So fie upon it, what a fare to pay!
