[Roger]

Sadly, romance never wins
Writing books about the Oliver twins.

Shakespeare agrees. His tragedies of love
requited and romantic set upon wings of the dove.

[[deleted user]]

I like his plays when he is older, the final folios.
Miranda and the magic minded Prospero.

[[deleted user]]

Romance is a gift , given from the forest.
The Midsummer Night's Dream enacts it all for us.

[Roger]

Around here everyone's going Shakespeare mad
And that includes his sister, brother and his dad.

[Roger]

So much shouting, hollering, and blowing out of breath
All because it's coming up to an anniversary of his death.

[[deleted user]]

Was the bard made of two? Or maybe four?
Were iambs counted, folios copied by anonymous? Or more?

[[deleted user]]

I prefer the mere players, a new folio, a recitation
Over any political election.

[Preston, Moderator]

I was a roving troubadour,
but I could never find the door

[Preston, Moderator]

Of the troubadour's cantina,
To sing to a beautiful Latina.

[Preston, Moderator]

So I took up the piano,
and sang to a Latino,

[Preston, Moderator]

Preferred songs on a guitar,
So I jumped on a old box car,

[Preston, Moderator]

But railroad cops threw me out.
so now I just sit and pout.

[[deleted user]]

I understand you
And Woody Guthrie too.

[[deleted user]]

sing us a song, then!
Lover of Latino Men! Olé!

[Preston, Moderator]

I love this land, the highways, the byways and the forests
on my guitar I wrote "This machine kills fascists."

[Preston, Moderator]

Those Pinkerton cops protect the rich dominion,
beat us up if we try to organize a union.

[Preston, Moderator]

I love the southwest but I'm no lobo,
I love the northeast but no hobo.

[Roger]

I find I couldn't be fonder
Of songs from the Valley of Rhondda

[Roger]

'Less of course, like a wise old owl
You rock to the sound of Northern Soul

[Roger]

And when there's nothing left to rest on,
You'll find it's still rocking in Preston.

[Preston, Moderator]

We will, we will throw rocks at you,
And we will stick our tongues out too..

[Preston, Moderator]

We don't, we don't like you,
whether you're Christian, Moslem or Jew.

[Preston, Moderator]

Yankee go home,
Or we'll throw a stone.

[Preston, Moderator]

Yankee go home,
Salaam and Shalom.

[Bethany]

Now, that was not nice.
A smile would suffice.

[Preston, Moderator]

Those rhymes were just a device,
we're putting them on sale for half price.

[Roger]

Does that mean can I buy one, get one free,
Or must I go down on a bended knee?

[Roger]

The last thing that I heard
Was going half price for half the word.

[Preston, Moderator]

Although some complain it's awkward,
we're selling at half price for every other word.

[Preston, Moderator]

Soon we'll bundle up all this erudition,
And sell an autographed limited edition.

[Roger]

That would certainly be good for a laugh,
If I have to append my autograph.

[Roger]

As you know, I do everything by rote…
And yesterday Oli went and cast my vote.

[Roger]

He knows my mind and gives my hand no release,
But this was only a vote for a local commissioner of police.

[Preston, Moderator]

On tuesday I voted for the democratic nominee for resident.
of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC aka President.

[Preston, Moderator]

I don't understand why in Britain you don't have a voting machine,
so that Oli could move your hand to vote for a new King and Queen.

[Preston, Moderator]

I don't understand why you have to wait,
To shake things up by electing William and Kate.

[Roger]

But about ancient tradition you cannot moan,
It's tradition for a monarch to seize the throne.

[Roger]

Of men and mice there may be many things,
One thing's for certain: the Divine Right of Kings.

[Roger]

They get given lots, including a nice Windsor "des. res."
Just like in 1600 Pennsylvania Ave for your Pres.

[Bethany]

If I were royal I'd not seize the throne.
Instead I'd seize a hammock and sleep at home.

[Roger]

I'd do much the same, I'd not want the rap
Of government business interrupting a nice nap.

[Preston, Moderator]

If government leaders would sleep 24 hours a day,
all the problems in the world would get fixed right away.

[Roger]

How true! Your theory is so sage
It could easily become the rage.

[Preston, Moderator]

The Donald has decided to get sworn in while in bed,
Sweet little angel with then need his rest so he'll lay down his head.

[Roger]

Do you think he'll be going bump
When the angels sound the Last Trump?

[Preston, Moderator]

Come on Gabriel blow your horn,
Farmers with sheep and plenty of corn.

[Preston, Moderator]

Sorry to make such a corny joke,
Wasn't my fault, was that Roger bloke.

[Roger]

Am I surprised that I get the blame?
I'm in the front when it's the blame game.

[Roger]

And when it's down to push comes to shove
I'll always be first with, "It weren't my fault, Guv."
