Should I Forget

the great bard says we're all players * that play many parts but my shank hasn't shrunk that the world's too wide for-- my manly voice fills it just fine maybe after a pint or two in mid-speech a word (on the rarest occasion) eludes me so-- okay--when it does --don't you dare I'll find it myself don't deny my muscle its exercise don't cast me a child lost in oblivion in my world I'm still the king and please remind me (should I forget) *From As You Like It by William Shakespeare
