De Jour of the Week (11/8/10)
Shakespeare Was Onto Something …
Yes, a rose by any other name
Is still a rose, but it’s my aim
To describe other things about a rose
With this simple-minded prose
A rose
By any other name
Is still just a rose
Unless you’re allergic
A nose
By any other name
Is still just a nose
Unless it’s nosy
Clothes
By any other name
Are still just clothes
Unless they’re one-size fits all for everyone but you
Knows
By any other name
Is still just knows
Unless it’s something she knows but you don’t
Flows
By any other name
Is still just flows
Unles you’ve just finished your fourth beer only to find the bathroom is out of order
A dose
By any other name
Is still just a dose
Unless it’s an epidural
