In Other Words!
When it was said...
"Above all else,
to thine own self be true".
What the man was
only trying to say was:
"You should stick to you, like glue"!
And when that harassed king
cried out
"Once more unto the breach,
dear friends"
What he was really
trying to tell them was...
"We have a fence to mend!"
When put into simple language,
much easier to understand!
Thus "Alas poor Yorrick,
I knew him well"
Translates to
"As of late,
he was six feet underground!"
And Hamlet's famous soliloquy
"To be or not to be?"
Turns into a more
understandable,
"I'll be the death of me!"
There are lots
of well known phrases,
that need a cleaning up!
So "veni! vidi! vici!"
would read...
"I won, so you belt-up!".
I'm sure you could think
of many more,
that, if their essence
was clarified.
Could continue on
in a living tongue,
and not in dusty books
reside!
