Rhetorical verse for Tea Time in L.A. - (Talking about Buffy as Shakespeare would have. [g]) Posted by: forensicpoetry - May 11, 2002, 6:05 AM
These two episodes are 91 episodes apart. In episode 28, Xander
In episode 119, Spike decides he'll go back to the clarity
What is there to say as we leap across four seasons of Buffy
And, yes, today's sonnet sequence has the stupidest title I have ever
rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form }
{BVS_117_01.02}
of vampire vs slayer . . . tooth and stake.
{BVS_117_01.03}
To hell with Buffy-love's insanity.
{BVS_117_01.04}
That doomed infatuation? Big mistake!
{BVS_117_01.06}
for not returning what that slayer b*tch
{BVS_117_01.07}
could never understand was her best way
{BVS_117_01.08}
(as slayer) to relieve a woman's itch . . .
{BVS_117_01.10}
She is a killing creature of the night.
{BVS_117_01.11}
Why could that stupid b*tch not simply fall
{BVS_117_01.12}
for someone who was clearly Mister Right.
{BVS_117_01.14}
When I come back, her lungs I'll rearrange."
{BVS_118_02.01}
NOW, GO BACK 90 EPISODES. . . ONE MORE.
{BVS_118_02.02}
And there is Xander wishing dating was
{BVS_118_02.03}
as simple & direct as how you score
{BVS_118_02.04}
the slaying game. No new math algebras . . .
{BVS_118_02.06}
You strike until it's dead. There is no pain
{BVS_118_02.07}
of indecision. Grab and swing your mace
{BVS_118_02.08}
directly at your target -- smash its brain.
{BVS_118_02.10}
Well, not with nail-spiked balls. That makes a mess
{BVS_118_02.11}
of ev'rything. She'd have to wear a hat.
{BVS_118_02.12}
A caveman's club? Some love taps, more or less."
{BVS_118_02.14}
of vampire. BUFFY SLAYS, THEN SAYS YOU LACK. . .
{BVS_119_03.01}
. . . A FULL APPRECIATION of her game.
{BVS_119_03.02}
The goal is clear, but tactics you must choose.
{BVS_119_03.03}
Decisiveness, dear Xander, not those lame
{BVS_119_03.04}
distracting jokes that guarantee you lose . . .
{BVS_119_03.06}
Yes: "Monster: Bad." That's easy. THIS is hard:
{BVS_119_03.07}
Each moment firmly choose which way to go.
{BVS_119_03.08}
Not limply joking sideways. . . LIKE THE BARD . . .
{BVS_119_03.10}
of what you most desire. . . Your words define
{BVS_119_03.11}
your chances of becoming truly blessed
{BVS_119_03.12}
by your correct selection . . . You can't whine . . .
{BVS_119_03.14}
Much better that . . . than always joke and sigh.
{BVS_120_04.01}
NOW SPIKE RETURNING to cruel clarity
{BVS_120_04.02}
makes sense . . . consid'ring all that he's been through.
{BVS_120_04.03}
It's not a case of losing purity.
{BVS_120_04.04}
He's "evil," after all. I wish him Dru.
{BVS_120_04.06}
a long, long time ago ... since he can't learn
{BVS_120_04.07}
a single thing. A "grown-up? He is not!
{BVS_120_04.08}
OH COME BACK DANCING DEMON, make him burn . . .
{BVS_120_04.10}
NOW . . . THINK OF SAM & RILEY who somewhere
{BVS_120_04.11}
fight evil hand to hand and heart to heart.
{BVS_120_04.12}
I often wish I watched this cool, clear pair . . .
{BVS_120_04.14}
I'll let you guess my point . . . Let's eat ice cream. {ewg}
