Shakespearean Plasma

A modern day Romeo and Juliet.

'But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?'

'Tis but the plasmatic glow from my neighbor's new 80 inch flat screen television and the cable connection is the sun.

Arise, poor slob, and stop me, the envious watcher,

'Who is already sick and pale with grief'.

O, then, dear neighbor, let the remote control do what hands do;

They change channels, grant thou, lest sports turn to soap operas ...

[Beautiful Intentions]

Ahaha.:) Was chuckling from the very first line which I hope was your intention because this completely cracked me up. I can't even quote the line I want to quote because it keeps making me laugh. Praise to you, oh Shakespeare! I completely needed this... It's true. Just a little bit of playful pleasure to bring a smile about my lips and a lightness to my heart. It amazes me at times, the pure inspiration of others and the amazing ways in which they express it. A major bravo!
