We are back in action with SONNET 69! Question: Have you ever used the statement, "You stink!" to someone who didn't actually smell stinky but their actions disappointed you enough to use such an exclamation? Well, Shakespeare has, too, but he just happens to say it a little more eloquently.
Old Word New: pickers and stealers - hands.
Full of lots of fun clues, SONNET 109 has us wondering, "What could Will have done to need such an apology?"
Old Word New: ticklebrain - a type of strong drink.
It's SPOOKY how SONNET 119 works itself out in the end. We (Dana) has three goes at her interpreted read, Reggie scares easily, and a new segment is introduced! Happy Halloween, Fearless Listeners!
Old Word New: buttery - a store-room for provisions.
Thank goodness 40 isn't what it used to be - OLD! Sheesh! As if pressure from family isn't enough, Shakespeare is hounding us in SONNET 2 from over 400 years in the past! But it's a sentimental encouragement and who doesn't appreciate those?
Back at it on Reggie's big 40th b-day with SONNET 21. This one has Shakespeare expressing some attitude towards a rival poet he finds disingenuous. Ya see, Shakey's all about keeping it real, keeping it simple. There's no comparison.
