Jonson v. Marlowe

All works on this site
by Brian Belge 2009
unless otherwise noted
 
 
There once was a playwright, Ben Jonson
Who dated the daughter of Swanson.
They were living in sin
When Swanson burst in
Saying Jonson, you'd better be gone, son.
 
So Jonson lay over with Kit
Marlow until they had hit
Each other and then
He struck out again
To call Father Swanson a git.
 
Old Swanson was sitting at brunch
When Jonson burst in with a punch
And some dip and some chips
And a whole lot of quips
About daughters and carpets and munch.
 
After belting a jigger or two,
Swanson was gossiping, too,
About his young girl
And the resident Earl;
When his poor, sickly daughter came to.
 
As she lay in her room with the flu
She heard Daddy's words through the flue.
He called her a whore
With a laugh (maybe more).
So into a tantrum she flew,
 
Screaming "No one fu*ks me, so, fu*k you!",
She jabbed out his eye with a yew.
          At the pique of her fit
          She skedaddled with Kit.
I've heard she plays ram to his ewe.
 
(Moral)
Take good care, oh, you writer of plays,
Or just like the daughter who strays
Away from her Da,
You won't get too fa'
Before all that is moral decays.
