Why is it that the dusking month of September has a day dedicated to the mangey tongues of Pirates, the plague of the endless seas when the brilliant in mind and poetic in soul get none of their own? Pull Shakespeare from his many dusty coffins across the nation's libraries and patch him anew on National Talk Like A Poet Day!

There are two most vile of vermin in this world that break apart Englishmen such as William down into bone and ash- maggots and boring presentation. Yes, many hearts out there are beyond sway due to the menacingly derogatory images of the Rennaisance Fair and teachers more hellbent on making their flock read ancient bundles of script from Rome And Juliet then Macbeth was of ruling, but it is not too late to put the entertainment back into the two breaths that form the word Playwright!

Bring the inspirational goodness of old entertainment brought upon by flesh and blood into the new world of cheap soapboxes and pop-culture madmen! This day has long deserved it's nook in our year!

And in case you found yourself stirred be it good or disturbed like the unnerved porcupine, it is because I am watching Hamlet for homeschooling! My deovtion that once was strong as the many beasts that roam in lands far beyond our neighborhoods died out like a weakened brute, but has been reignited like a powder keg by this!

And yes, my less-then-admirable collection of writings that take you from WWII meatgrinders in the Hugen Forest to the war-torn city of Troy also is well rimmed with plays! Plays so long and complex that to dive in them would result in mine eyes going spoiled from the sweet indulgences!

So hark, fans of the poet! Come unto me! And in case your mind does hunger so, yes, it hastens twofold the long time it takes for one such as myself to ink this all up on the so called "Internets" !
