"The Lovers of Poetry" joke
Two lovers of poetry used to meet occasionally for a stroll in the Countryside and discuss the attributes of their favourite Bards. On one such occasion, the lover of Shakespeare and the lover of Wordsworth met and whilst strolling along, were confronted by an elderly man with a very straight back and very bandy legs. Immediately the lover of Shakespeare said to his colleague.
"How would your Wordsworth have described this chap". Without any hesitation, he replied, "Wordsworth would have said,
Lo! Here comes a venerable gent, his back is straight, though his legs are bent". Then he immediately enquired of his friend,
"What would your mate Shakespeare have said?" The reply was, "What manner of man is this, who approaches us with his Balls in Parenthesis".
