For Annie
Recorded at Bardic Madness 2015 in Unicorn

The Unkindest Cut
His fellow actors claimed that Shakespeare wrote so fluidly that "he never blotted a line" (that is,
he never edited). Ben Jonson responded, "Would he had blotted a thousand"*. Yes, even the Bard could
have used an editor once in a while. In the morning you'll select one of three longish (possibly
very bad) poems. Your job is to cut it down to something approximately sonnet length (although the
form chosen is up to you).

Period Piece
Perform a documentably period piece of music, verse, story, or song. Dig out those reference books,
blow off the dust (try not to sneeze), and see what wonderful and magical treasures you can find in
them. There is a staggering amount of fantastic material out there. Find something, be it silly or
sublime, and amaze us with it..

Shakespeare-flavored, would be lovely."
