Gleaner -- yeah. I love Shakespeare's put-downs. And As You Llke It is chock full of them.

Though I'm not sure Shakespeare actually wrote that song; he was also fond of inserting songs into his plays (either the song itself, or references to a well-known songs fitted into the dialogue). And this may be his way of commenting on popular culture... As if Tom Stoppard wrote a bit of dialogue that included: "Oops! I did it again!" or something.

Either way, I do wish Shakespeare weren't "sold" through our school system as diffecult and highbrow. I came upon As You Llke It when I was about 15 by accident (a bbc production was being aired on my pbs station), and by the end of Act 2, I was laughing myself silly.

I count myself blessed that I got to Shakespeare before the formal education system could spoil him for me.
