by Bill Schott

Ned and Pons have watched the play, The Taming of the Shrew, and are conversing as the theater patrons leave. Pons: Ned, I am beside myself with curiosity about what you thought about the play. Ned: Whew! Dat's a relief, Cuz. I thunk I was a seein' double. Pons: That was just an expression. Ned: Wondered what dat smell was. Hoo eee! Ya cud write yer name in dat'n. Ain't no wonner it'd gimme dat double bision. Pons: Anyway, Ned. Did you like the play? You were pretty quiet. Ned: Purdy sure I was sleepin', dude. Pons: So you missed the play? Ned: I cud hear okay, but I de-magined dat da shrew were a jellerfish. Pons: A -- a jellyfish? Ned: So I seen that Patookio got hitched ta dis ji-normous jello gal and took her back ta his place. Pons: Jellyfish? Ned: Then, ol' Patookio trains her ta be a proper spa-mouse. Pons : You mean -- spouse? Ned: If dat's wad yer call a jellerfish turned inta a mouse? Pons: A mouse? Ned: Eventual, he hauls da big ol' jellermouse back to her daddy's whin her sister, Bi-ainker, gits hitched. Pons: Amazing! Ned: Dat ain't all neider. Pons: The final scene? Ned: Don't know iffin it was vinyl, wad I seen, but it were sure the end. Pons: My god! What happened? Ned: My ticker was a beatin' hard too, Pons. Pons: A huge jellyfish-mouse thing in Shakespeare.

Dem benitches owed dare hubsends big time an' oughta be heppy ta be dare second class jellermouse servatints. Pons: I guess that's about right, Ned; though recent productions make that scene less chivalrous and more satirical. Ned: Hard ta be shiverless tinkin' 'bout a honeymoon wit a big ol' jellerfish what's part gi-ANT-like mouse. Pons: To be sure. Ned: Wen I call Willum Shikspeer later, I'll suggest he change da possessed chick inta a jellerfish. Pons: While you have him on the line, heh, heh, ask him to let Romeo and Juliet live. Ned: So Shikspeer is a writer AND a dang kidnapper.  Pons: Ned — Shakespeare is dead.  Ned:  Well, that’s wad ya git, I reckon.  Did dey save dem kids?   Write A Review Jellyfish World 8 Taming of the Jellyfish Pays one point and 2 member cents.
