Macbeth Low On Meth

And signifying nothing, upon life’s stage meaningless, endless, a cruel war he waged Fretting and strutting, as the curtains narrowed Out, out, foul vegan, who doth hate man’s marrow Comes back for encore, to be mocked, and broken Having found mere hate, vaunting the unspoken A shadowless ghoul behind faint shrills of woe Sans a candle, roams hell’s abattoirs below A dedication of respect on the nihilistic tragedy of Macbeth # # # Bastardised here indeed but more so each day by a bard who flunked all meaning in life # # # Yet has somehow found faith in putrid flesh eating flowers # # No doubt whilst searching for a niche on the last syllable of soybean @urd By David Kavanagh

Heya Pangie, its a work in progress, I must keep my rotten tomatoes handy for whenever the bard impersonator appears on stage, cheers David

What foods these morsels be! Good job creating the parody, David. Enjoyed the "Goblet Art"

Heya Anaya, parodying the parodist, is perhaps the best approach, I’m sure he loved this one behind his sardonic facade lol, the Goblet Art is merely a subliminal side effect to help him whilst digesting, cheers David

It's true that "all the world's a stage," but not everyone is fit to walk across it, stand in the spotlight to recite a soliloquy of nonsense that Shakespeare would call rot. That's why the hook was invented. Great title, David.

Thanks Jenna, I can only imagine our resident bard thingamajig, getting booed off the stage of self enlightenment each day, or rather like you say hooked off, what a cad he is, cheers David

Love your take on the tragedy of Macbeth David, I'm sure Will would approve of your modern version. Tom

Good Friday Morning Tom, oh I’m sure Will wouldn’t mind me spinning his Macbeth upon the folly of a scornful impersonator bard, whom bastardises his work day in day out, many thanks, cheers David
