The immortal bard [I]is [/I]Shakespeare. The lines are from ‘Winter’ in ‘Love's Labour's Lost’ and continues thus;
When all aloud the wind doth blow,
And coughing drowns the parson’s saw,
And birds sit brooding in the snow,
And Marion’s nose looks red and raw,
When roasted crabs his in the bowl,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

Always enjoyed Cleo Laine singing this and other snippets from Shakespeare on SHAKESPEARE AND ALL THAT JAZZ - still available!
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
now the [B]immoral[/B] bard surely WAS good old Rabbie Burns ... the guy could've shagged for Scotland in the Shaggin' olympics & his views on the kirk & the devil are well known (see Tam O'Shanter/Holy Willie's prayer!)
a snippet from a net biography :
[I]"his lifestyle was that of a self-confessed rake who gloried in his sexual promiscuity without regard for the consequences, namely, bastard offsrping. To be fair, he and his wife Jean did take one of them into their home. [/I]

Don't know who greasy Joan was but at least she would have been warm whilst keeling the pot and sitting by the fire. Lets hope she had not eaten any sprout burgers, the results could be explosive!!!:laughs:

but I wasn't attempting to answer the (unasked) question "who wrote winter", I was just having fun with a typo.
Greasy Jean is usually taken to be a reference to a mischievous creator who stirs things up - so 'fate' would be a good answer, I suppose.

Pigro
It wasnt a typo , just thought it might raise a smile.
Ax
Isn't greasy Joan a pal of the immortal bard?
As for sprout burgers...could they be Belgium's way of getting its own back?:laughs::laughs:
