And. as usual, Shakepeare's mother is forgotten. So I submit this verse I wrore to honor her and all mothers.
Mothers Shakespeare was something... but Shakespeare's mum
Struck all the poxy critics dumb!
Till one found voice and then another
"The Bard owed everything to his mother!"
Or so she dreamed. Then woke to life
Stuck up in Stratford with Shakespeare's wife.
Poor, poor motherless Eve
Might not have fallen
but it's hard to believe
How could she know?
"Why the hell should I bother?
Give me that apple.
I don't have a mother."

You mean when she was passing, as Louise? (Her brother *was called Philip,
after all.) Her figure had less to do with it (and that visually libellous
cartoon is as unfair as the progressively incrementing humps between
Dickon's shoulders) than that we were (obviously) on opposite sides of the
barricades in 48.
Alas, politics yet once more obtruded into the course of True Love, as she,
writing under the name of The Man From Stratford, artfully and allegorically
chronicles in +Romulus and Jospin+.
Those were the days, my friend ...
