Cliff Notes for The Spruik
ie if you don't get the version we've put out there, read this :D
THE PROLOGUE - The bit at the start
[Enter Chorus.] - The chorus enters
Chor. - The chorus say this bit. Together at the same time. That's why they are called the Chorus.
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Melbourne, where we lay our scene,
Two chicks and their families live in Melbourne.
That's where it all happens.
From ancient arts break to new fantasties,
Where civil dyes make busy hands unclean.
Dyeing has been done for a long time, it's not like we invented it or anything. But we think we do some pretty newish and fun stuff anyways.
We do some dyeing, and it makes our hands dirty.
From forth the fatal minds of these two friends
A myriad of star-cross'd nappies find their life;
Not entirely sure why our minds are fatal, or why our nappies are star crossed either for that matter.
But we make lots of different ones... give them life so to speak.
Whose much imagined unique overtones
Doth with their purchase bury their makers' strife.
No ego at all, but we like to think that people imagine what a restock at The Cauldron might hold. Probably dreaming.
And when people buy our stuff, it is really good because we can pay our bills.
The fabulous passage of their dye-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their makers' image,
We post dyed nappies.
When we post dyed nappies people sometimes talk about them around the place. We like that a lot.
Which but their nappies' sale naught could remove,
Is now the brief hours' traffic of our store;
If you buy a nappy, it is gone. As in, no-one else can buy it. That's a really bad interpretation of the original text by the way.
And we hope to get a lot of traffic at our store... makes us feel a bit good about the work that goes into the restocks. We hope it will be brief, because that means people like what we are doing!
The which, if you with patient eyes attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
If you watch the store, you will see what we have.
Pretty simple really!
