Rhetorical verse for Tea Time in
L.A. #39- (Talking about Buffy as Shakespeare
would have. <g>)

PM
NOTE: If you watch
"Phases" (BtVS episode #27 - Season 2 ep
15)
this sonnet sequence may make a heck of a
lot more sense. <smile>
BIGGER
(but smaller) NOTE: The insane idea of
putting Buffy thoughts
in
Shakespearean 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:

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
#105-108/154
Rhetorical verse in
Shakespearean sonnet
form
GUYS! - RE:
"Phases" Episode #27
BtVS
(1) "A GUY!,"
says Cordy. "GUY!" says Willow
back.
Commiserating. They know what "guys"
are.
Their tone is that they each would like to
smack
all guys right in their kissers --
knock them far . . .
. . . as Buffy
could with un-male super-strength.
AS
BUFFY SAYS when learning werewolf
facts.
"A typical" (bad)
"man". While Giles at
length
explains it's not their fault.
(for once, reacts . . .
. . . to
Xander's stupid joke about Moon Pie
with
giggles). Werewolves don't choose life as
fiend.
They're human underneath and should not
die.
THE SLAYING LAW, IN THIS CASE,
CONTRAVENED.
Instead of kiling . . .
werewolves need control.
Beneath their
fangs and fur . . . there is a
soul.

(2) SO
BUFFY PUTS HER STAKE DOWN . . . grabs a
chain,
while Giles prepares some
tranquilizer darts.
And Willow
suffers existential pain
'cause Oz
-- with all his other kinds of smarts -- . .
.
. . . apparently "does not know what he
wants"
from Willow. Aching in all
tender joints,
she lashes out (no Willow,
nonchalance!)
her unbound toungue on
Oz. And scoring points . . .
. . .
when Oz transforms into his other
side.
Well this is quite surprising . . .
who'd have thought
a wolf was under there. Her
wounded pride
would wait. It's time to run or
she'll get caught.
BUT WAIT . . . I thought
she wanted his desire? <ewg>
(If
I don't have some fun, I will
retire.)

(3) WHAT'S
ANGEL DOING . . . in this werewolf
show?
He's giving guys and
werewolves a bad rep.
He wouldn't give a
scrawny monkey toe <g>
for anything
like love. NO, he would step . . .
. .
. on ev'ry bandaged foot his boots could
find.
And Buffy's heart's a mummy
(bandage-wise).
This Angel-guy's the
poster for unkind.
And sadly, for some women,
paradise.
(Well, that's what we all learn
on TV shows.
And maybe in real life for all I
know.
I'm writing FILLER here, and
counting toes, <g>
because I didn't count
my quatrains. Doh!)
Of course,
he's not a guy . . . He's just
guy-faced.
He's not the one
she loved . . . He's been
replaced.

(4) Though
Buffy's "superficial" love runs
deep,
it's not as deep as evil
Angel thinks.
Of course, "deep"
thinking doesn't fit a creep.
The logic of his
character just stinks.
He's not a
character . . . he's just a tool
to hammer
Buffy into a square hole
the writers made
for her. For "love", a
fool.
Quotation'd "love" . . . Not
diamond. Lump of coal.
HOW HARSH AM I?
A guy who shed his tears
at poignant
Buffy-Angel LOVE . . . back then.
BUT NOW
as end of sonnet sequence nears
I clearly
see each writer's deadly sin . . .
. . . and
wish the Buffyverse could be
remade.
(For Joss's labor, see how he's
repaid?)
<smile>
THE
END
---------------------
HAIKU
CODA
When was it I said
that Joss Whedon
must hate men?
Oh yeah,
yesterday.
<ewg>
CODA
CODA
Or maybe he thinks
that girls who
watch TV shows
truly think like that.
CODA
CODA CODA
But his father wrote
for sweet
"Captain Kangeroo."
Kindness was passed down . .
.
. . . from Joss's grandpa
who also wrote for
TV.
I MUST POST THIS
NOW!
