Limbeck: To rack the brain and exhaust yourself in an effort to come up with a new idea. Proggle: To poke, prod, or grubble about. Gyles' poem this week was 'Shakespeare at School' by Wendy Cope Forty boys on benches with their quills Six days a week through almost all the year, Long hours of Latin with relentless drills And repetition, all enforced by fear. I picture Shakespeare sitting near the back, Indulging in a risky bit of fun By exercising his prodigious knack Of thinking up an idiotic pun, And whispering his gem to other boys, Some of whom could not suppress their mirth – Behaviour that unfailingly annoys Any teacher anywhere on earth. The fun was over when the master spoke: Will Shakespeare, come up here and share the joke. A Sony Music Entertainment production.
