Default Re: OT: Repository of quotations

I quite like this example of judicial poetry

"Time will pass and seasons will come and go; Spring with its wavin' green grass and heaps of sweet-smellin' flowers on every hill and in every dale. Then will come sultry Summer, with her shimmerin' heat-waves on the baked horizon; and Fall, with her yeller harvest-moon and the hills growin' brown and golden under a sinkin' sun; and finally Winter, with its bitin', whinin' wind, and all the land will be mantled with snow. But you won't be here to see any of 'em, Carlos Robles; not by a dam' sight, because it's the order of this court that you be took to the nearest tree and hanged by the neck till you're dead, dead, dead, you olive colored son-of-a-billy-goat!"

I realise I may stretch somewhat the understanding of the term "quote"

I have in my possesion a rather elderly Pocket Book of Quotations (though it would, as do I towards quotes, stretch them somewhat). I have leafed through and have found a section on puns, and who am I to argue with the appropriateness,

We wanted Li Wang
But we winged Willie Wong
A sad but excusable
Slip of the Tong.
-Keith Preston (whomever that is)
