Band of Bloggers

We few, we happy few, we band of bloggers;
For he to-day that creates posts with me
Shall be a blogger; be he ne'er so vile,
This blog shall gentle his Blogger profile;
And gentlemen on Tumblr now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not added with author access,
And hold their LiveJournal profiles cheap whiles any speaks
That blogged with us upon whichever day we get around to posting.

[With deepest apologies to William Shakespeare, Henry V of England, and really everyone who reads this.]

  1. Is this an actual poem...or an adaption of one perhaps? Either way, it sounds very shakespearean and intelligent!!

  2. I hate to call it an "adaptation." A more accurate term would be "verse I ruined." But yes, the intelligent parts come from "Henry V." The stuff about Tumblr is my fault.
