But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
(in this thread we will communicate solely through iambic pentameter, as in the works of The Bard. each line of your post should contain ten syllables, alternating unstressed/stressed-- da DA da DA da DA da DA da DA. it's harder than it sounds at first)
I thought to make a thread where we could talk
as if we lived four hundred years ago.
Perhaps the lot of you will join with me
and speak in iambs, for to have some laughs!
Hey K I know this isn't written in iambic pentameter but did you know I once ran a Phalla where all narration dialogue was written in iambic pentameter?
Well, I tired to write in iambic pentameter, at least.
It's true, I am a sweaty nerd.
I make my posts within a basement deep
beneath the house owned in my parents' name.
I roll d20 every time I fear
a chance of failure possibly exists.
Then lock this thread if it perturbs you so.
I still submit that it is worth your time.
You've suffered threads for "three word internets"
and so I feel that you can suffer this.
It's always been a twinkle in my eye,
but somehow never made its way to print.
I can't remember when I first conceived

Shakespeare himself was an enormous dick.
He plaigarized others to write his plays.
Yet we see fit to glorify his work,
while the ones who wrote it are forgotten.
But K, a thousand monkeys at their desks,
each one of them typing without a pause,
for years and years they keep at their task,
they call it the Penny Arcade forums.

He did not test his post before he clicked!
His syllables, they do not add to ten!
That's close, but no cigar. Again, once more!

shakespeare's metre was rarely consistent
let's do it anyway
'twixt players, perhaps, though most retain their verse
Yet in the Comedies,
not so much
despite the inconsistant syllables
and the occassional trochaic foot

a bunch of monkeys typing, not at all.
Though monkeys we be, are we not blessed
with feelings both real and easily hurt?
