Shakespeare Meets Snoop Dogg

Shakespeare: Good day, chained friend.  Might I acquaintance make?
            Perhaps you've heard these centuries laud of me?
            Now William Shakespeare in thy presence stands.
            Extend an arm, allow our hands to shake.

Snoop Dogg: Yo! Yo!  Dey call me Snoop Dogg.  C'mon man check da rhyme--
                   
            Hello there, Willy Billy, wit' ya talkin' willy-nilly
            'cuz I know ya feelin' silly in ya stockin's long and frilly
            try'n ta keep ya legs from chillin' from dat overwhelmin' feelin'
            only I can rap about.  Yee-  ah, shout!

Shakespeare: But hark, young knave!  Thy follies, let them cease.
            Bid me discourse, I will delight thine ear.
            Do feed of the poppies now bred from my mouth's field.
            And yield thy bant'ring tongue awhile to peace.

Snoop Dogg: Na - - aw!  'Cuz me and my boys be kickin' it out,
            announcin' it wit' explicatives!  Shout!
            Yee - ah shout!  Yee - ah shout!  Aw - right!
            Try'n ta make some smoke for all da jokers who are chokin' us
            wit' all dat pokin' all  up in our bidnus wit' dey ever-lawin' mouths.
            Yee - ah shout!  Yee - ah shout!  Aw - right!

Shakespeare: A nobl'r cause have I in all my verse, but
            That cause would be laid waste if lavished here
            Upon thy unlearn'd head and canine ear--
            For kings and angels I have famed with it.

Snoop Dogg: Yo, man!  Don't be disrespectin' wit' yo' self-erectin' rhyme.
            Don't want dis dawg up in yo' face!  No way, no how, no time!

Shakespeare: We've faced enough!  'Tis of a verity!
            One bright saying here I must admit:
            The dulling fool's a sharpener of the wit.
            Perhaps my next play's jester you shall be!

Snoop Dogg: Aw, naw!  Don't call me jester, more like Chester the Molester
            'cuz I'm strippin' down your lines, an' I'm trippin' on yo' jive
            you Elizabethan queen. See ya man, cuz now ya freakin'
            I mean, explicatively speakin'!

Shakespeare: And thy dark lips and soul, I pray, be dumbed
            To everlasting heaps of just dessert.
            Let us, then, part with no sweet sorrow feigned.
            I bid farewell before I bite my thumb.

Snoop Dogg: Whatever, man!  I'm outta here!

Shakespeare: Word!

    Hey ten I was bored witless so I thought I'd come read some 'TEN" humor, haha I came back to this one still tickles my funny bone. I'm still bored but not witless!
    • It's just crazy stuff, huh? I wrote this one night after a friend of mine described something as "it's kinda like Shakespeare meets Snoop Dogg." I thought that was such a great way to explain something, and the more I thought about such a meeting, my mind just got goofy and this poem was the result!

      Poor Bill is probably rolling over in his grave. And the Dogg, well I hope he doesn't give up his bling over this one.

      It's crazy where a gal's mind will go at three in the morning!

      Thanks for re-visiting--and for the happy comment. Glad I could be of service!

    need a #4 applause

    Exciting contrast, loved "Upon thy unlearn'd head and canine ear" and "dulling fool's a sharpener of the wit." You have a knack for capturing the style of both personalities. Prithee, you da man!

    This really was delightful! I'm not into rap, but the beat you gave it made it flow!

    Loved the "stockin's long and frilly", also the "unlearn'd and canine ear", and "thy dark lips and soul, I pray, be dumbed"!

    An encounter I wouldn't want to miss! Thank you for taking notes and sharing!

    You gave me a seizure. This was so funny and witty I want to laugh my ass off the whole time, but my whole family's sleeping, so I had to laugh in my mind but I laughed so much it hurt

    I absolutely loved the ending... there isn't just enough words to describe how comic and absolutely skillful the ending and whole poem is.

    But, who allowed you to share how most of our conversations roll I am Snoop Dogg and your Shakespeare....or is it the other way around?

    wow...

    Wow... I'm speechless (lucky I have a keyboard!) This is so very clever and well written! I love both your obvious sense of humour and your ability to tell a story.
    Brilliant... good luck in the contest poet!
