CATESBY Rescue, my Lord of Norfolk, rescue, rescue!
The king enacts more wonders than a man,
Daring an opposite to every danger:
His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights,
Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death.
Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost!

[Alarums. Enter KING RICHARD III]

KING RICHARD III A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!

CATESBY Withdraw, my lord; I'll help you to a horse.

KING RICHARD III Slave, I have set my life upon a cast,
And I will stand the hazard of the die:
I think there be six Richmonds in the field;
Five have I slain to-day instead of him.
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!

The Bard would have had to compose an entirely new play climaxing with the humiliating end of the butcher. Any suggestions for the title?

Two from my Brave Saddam Series.

Saddam

They found him in a spider hole,
Just like we knew they would.
Though we are glad I'm sure the Dems,
Feel this is not too good.
I'm sure they all are saddened now,
For Saddam's in our hand.
The French, the Germans, chant along,
The Russians lead the band.
They want the contracts to rebuild,
The Dems want Bush to fail.
Death for Saddam is too swift,
Let’s let him rot in jail.
Congratulations to our troops,
And to our leader here.
George Bush is still the man to lead,
He gets my vote next year.

Cowards

They recently found Saddam,
Hiding in his pit.
I hope this is a warning,
Cowards are not fit.
They do not lead but threaten,
Their people to obey.
They rape and kill their people,
All to get their way.
But take away that power base,
Watch the roaches slide.
Death is for their underlings,
Cowards, they just hide.

"Then there is the evil and conniving Richard the Third, as bloodthirsty as Macbeth, as heartless as Iago, and driven with as huge a lust for power as Saddam."

Lies ... d@mned lies ... and d@mnable lies!

FOR KING RICHARD AND VICTORY!!

[Junior]

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow,
creeps in this petty pace from day-to-day,
to the last syllable of recorded time.
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
their way to dusty death.
Out, out brief candle.
Life is but a walking shadow --
a poor player who struts and frets
his hour upon the stage and is heard no more.
It is a tale, told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing.
