If Dave had a jazz album.
Speaking of Shakespeare, our student teacher, Alan, went to all the trouble to find an online sonnet generator. The following sonnet, Ode to Balderdash Academy, is the result. It’s beautiful, horrific, and an assault on good taste, just like us. Enjoy.
Ode to the Balderdash Academy
A Sonnet by Billy Shags
To Balderdash Academy, I write.
I love the way you laugh, write and edit,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the microcredit.
Let me compare you to a funny tune?
You are more blazing, sunny and awesome.
Smart sun heats the lifelong peaches of June,
And summertime has the awesome fossum.
How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love your prudent Alan and elan.
Thinking of your comedy fills my days.
My love for you is the awful callen.
Yes, this is a picture of Steve at work.
