Way Too Much Iambic Pentameter

And so, in my infinite wisdom, I return to the world of "Aloha, Good Messieurs." No, I'm not in Hawaii, but I am going back to writing about that place that I wrote the story about whilst I was there. You know, the one where Max was a talking corpse and Ben was depressed and I was named Minette for some reason and danced a lot. Or maybe you don't. Oh well.

This whole thing is inspired by one quote from Macbeth.

"It will have blood they say, blood will have blood,
Stones have been known to move, and trees to speak."

"You lack the season of all natures, sleep."

What is uncertain can be called assured
What is mistrusted can be thought a truth
What dreams madmen have pondered are confirmed
The only asset here is lunacy.
Look to yourself, your soul, your eyes, your heart
Inside L’Chimera – L’ Ki, if you
Know where you stand, and do you sir? Do you?
A little knowledge is so dangerous
And dancers are still found dead in green rooms
Although the Law has come to visit us.
They saw the show, but never knew it, fo
Illusions are our business, and you must
Know where you stand to understand our world.

Hush now, tell patrons none of your tall tales,
A story is a story, no? If you
Know where you stand. And do you sir? Ah, good.
We ask your trust tonight, you’re in good hands.
Relax. No questions, please, questions rot minds.
So thank you. Curtain up and be prepared –
You’re on in forty two – be ready, yes?
No need to prepare any act, and please,
Do listen closely, your cue is quiet.
Onstage I promise you’ll know what to do
Listen to the curtains whisper! Trust me.

Greetings, my name is Minette, I am to show you
To your place, to where you stand.
Welcome to L’Kim. And who are you? Ah!
I remember that, a stand up act, right?
Important job here at L’Kim, you know.
I am a dancer, not half so crucial,
But I know where I stand, and so will you.
Well, here’s your dressing room, be ready quick.
Questions? Ask your mirror, and be polite.
It’s rather touchy sometimes – name’s Marco.

I remain, gentlemen, your faithful and obedient servant,

J.G.
