PM
NOTE: If you watch "What's
My Line?" (BtVS episodes #20-21 - Season 2 ep
9-10)
this sonnet sequence may make a heck of a
lot more sense. <smile>
BIGGER
(but smaller) NOTE: The insane idea of
putting Buffy thoughts
inShakespearean sonnet form . . . is
based on the even more insane idea
that
you might want to give it a
try yourself.
For a "sonnetized"
explanation of why this is not
insane <g> . . . you might read
my
previous Bronze threads WHY I POST IN
SHAKESPEAREAN SONNETS:
PART
1:
http://www.buffy.com/bronze_posts.jsp?tid=48156
PART
2:
http://www.buffy.com/bronze_posts.jsp?tid=48152
THEN
if that challenge seems like an interesting one to
you, look for TEA TIME in L.A.
at
7:00 PM BRONZE TIME daily . . . which is
truly strange. <g> But it
just
might save the world. <ewg> In any
case, you can brag about being able to write
better than fill-in-the-blank.

TEA TIME SONNETS
#91-94/154
Rhetorical verse in
Shakespearean sonnet
form
NORMAL,
SNORE-MAL - RE: "What's My Line?"
Episodes #20-1
BtVS
(1) "I WANT A
NORMAL LIFE," Buf says once more.
But
Dor'thy Hammill was a childhood
dream.
And S.M.G. herself sought fame
at four.
So all this "normal"
bullsh*t makes me scream.
Reluctant
hero is stale story line
assumed to make us
more identitfy
with those who by some
quirk of fate outshine
the
normal range of life, and so defy . .
.
. . . the "normal rules" of what a
life "should" be.
BUT WRITERS are "elitist"
(after all).
Combined . . . their words define
reality
for "normal folks" . . . who
never got "the call" . . .
. . . from
God . . . or daddy's friend . . . or pure dumb
luck
to have a life, Good Lord, that
doesn't suck.

(2) SOME LINES OF
SLAYER KENDRA near the end
of this
two-parter put a theme in light.
Pure
slayer with no family or friend
nor dates
with boys . . . SHE FRAMES THE SLAYER'S
FIGHT:
"YOU TALK LIKE SLAYING IS A JOB.
. . . IT'S NOT.
IT'S WHO YOU ARE." Then
says she learned that from
ol' B. herself. . . .
Good Lord, what bloody rot!
It's good
constructive praise, but Buffy's
dumb . . .
. . . about her
purpose -- else why all the
whine.
about "a normal life" and
college creds.
She pines for life where S.A.T.'s
define
parameters of choice. . . . Oh, how she
dreads . . .
. . . her life of purpose . . .
gifted her by fate.
Her stupid whining's
what I truly
hate.

(3) THAT ENDS MY
WHINY RANT, now let's have FUN.
Remember
fun? The thing we used to have
while
watching Buffy . . . why we used to
run
to turn on W.B. and use the lav . .
.
. . . before the fun got rolling
Tuesday nights.
LIKE Oz's Willow
talk of "monkey pants"
French
monkeys mocking hippos with no
tights.
A smile that wipes out all my thoughts
of rants.
WHAT'S THAT? I feel that
monkey reference
combined with
France . . . and law enforcement
jokes
INSPIRING ME to risk the deep
offense
of all pro-Supernat'ral lawyer
folks . . .
. . . and slip that sonnet
owed to her RIGHT HERE.
I have on
monkey pants. What can I fear?

(4) LET'S MAKE
THIS CLEAR . . . if I praised her too
well
POETIC LAW requires that we be wed.
<G>
SO, FIRST OF ALL, we must protect
S.L.
from such a fate . . . AND SO
I MUST INSTEAD . . .
. . . HIGHLIGHT HER
FLAWS. What else is there to do? <ewg>
A
LONG PAUSE as I think of something wrong.
(All
libel I'll avoid, or she might sue.)
HMMMM .
. . SURELY THERE MUST BE a Friar's song . .
.
. . . that can be sung about 5-4 law
femmes
in general that will avoid all
praise.
Delightful monkey mocked ad
hominems?
I search in vain for negatives
through haze . . .
. . . of my profound
respect for all I know
about this Super gal. . .
P. LAW!!!! Oh NO!!!!!
<EWG>
THE
END
---------------------
HAIKU
CODA
Equilibrium
is a "feature" of
S.L.
which 4th sonnet
serves.
