To eat the world's due
Famine where abundance lies
Too cruel, tender churl.
Me roleplaying as a telegraph operator. I think Shakespeare would be pleased with all the money I saved him. Trimmed the fat, as it were 😂. His point might not be clear anymore, but that's the risk you take with telegrams. And haikus. You're also going to forgive me for not being a method actor. A real operator would've spelled out the commas and end with 'STOP'. Maybe next time.
p.s. he's talking about beautiful people not making babies and how he would like you all to knock that off. (well, he's really talking about a specific person here but we're going to go with a broad 'general application' approach) So if you're beautiful, please get on with it. Chop chop.
