I’ve just been brushing up my Shakespeare, having been inspired by JC’s post.

(With apologies to both GF Handel and Shakin’ Will).

Here’s a brief extract from a little-known scatological work, The Scent of a Madman.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the Jester's words: "The Trump it shall sound" are a reference to

the words of the Bible in 1. Corinthians 15:52.

G.F. Handel also alludes to those words in his Messiah here:

 

 

 

 

Jester:

“Ah woe unto thee, for The Trump it shall sound,

and verily ye horse shit will truly abound.”

 

Earl of Fester:

“O Trumpeo, Trumpeo, wherefore art thou Trumpeo?

What’s in a name? That which we call a fart

By any other name would stink as foul”.

 

NB. He's actually not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy! You can see the evidence for yourself, here:
