horse trumps the bard

My kingdom for a horse he said
Yet Richard the Third we've not read
Though the play's assigned
Shakespeare’s such a grind
We'd sooner chill with Mister Ed

I Am Anaya Date: 6/5/2025 10:07:00 AM The duo broke-up! No longer an item, we'll now hear the truth about what Musk & T-rump thought about each other....Travel bans of countries galore. Richard the third killed on the battle field horse shot, cried out "a horse a horse, my kingdom for a horse" --Shakespeare. It's nice to have the web at our whim to understand more...I'm grateful for that! Mr. Ed--Brilliant lim, Duke Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 6/6/2025 10:58:00 AM Anaya, the world is indeed a crazy place these days. I guess it always was, but now we have instant coverage and we see the bad as it happens. You've been very kind. Thanks and smiles!!!

Your Limericks are always interesting in many ways, Duke... even when you include that T word. lol Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 6/4/2025 7:33:00 PM Oh God! Make that Oh Gawd! Duke Beaufort Date: 6/4/2025 5:00:00 PM Lin, yes I did think it was funny using that word. There's some interesting discussion on line and videos about Richard III. It may be he was not as bad as represented in the play. It 's suggested he was the victim of a hatchet job. I'm surprised our current wannabe king hasn't issued him a pardon and a medal since he thinks he's a direct descendant of the Plantagenets and Tudors too. Wait, I forgot....he really thinks he's a deity.

Ilene Bauer Date: 6/4/2025 2:01:00 PM ha! nicely done, duke! Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 6/4/2025 4:52:00 PM Thanks Ilene, I had a lot of fun with this one. I just wonder if people who are a bit younger than I won't have any idea about Wilber and Mr. Ed's adventures. I really loved that show. That horse had a great sense of humor.
