Recipe for Sautéed Shakespeare - Alien's Challenge #17

Take one Puck and griddle the Earth, mid-simmer for forty minutes, with acorns to taste.

Add a pound of flesh; take arms - end them, use every man after his dessert, without waste.

Insert your Guildenstern and your Rosencrantz heads first, as you must.

Ingrate a little Lear of Corn., preferably wind-blown from the heath, for the crust.

Sieve a freshly-blooded Montague and a young Capulet into the mix, checking expiry dates.

Blend in, if you can, one ripe Caliban with water and berries, or, if unavailable, a Trinculo or Stephano (Caliban's 'mates').

If the flavour seems somewhat sweet to you, a pinch moor of handkerchief can be folded in.

Dust nightly with a spot of Lady M. to garnish, or cheat by using leaves from Dunsinane.

Serve i' th' heat, accompanied with Caesar salad, Dogberry sauce, and I pray you watch

How a rich and full-bodied Malmsey will accompany this nicely, but don't serve with Scotch.

I must admit, I never would have mixed shakespeare with food..... not even theater popcorn and a large Dr. Pepper. Great piece, but you have always been the most fun to read.

Yummy... *drools* I really like it, but, in my opinion, I think there are too many silables[sp?] that make it hard to relate it to a poem type of writing. D****t I think that was a run on sentance...

Feel free to ignore the following.
Misty's infamous randomness!
Butterflies are p-r-e-t-t-y. Don't you agree?

Delightfully clever and sinister.

Whoa Nelly, I do believe you'd have given ol' Willy Shake a run for his money if you'd been contemporaries, Graeme!!!! I smell another winner.
