corduroy licorice was in love with life. he was pretty bummed when that magazine went out of circulation.

i avoided jane austen for the longest time. she was always on reading lists in school, but the title pride and prejudice was a real turn-off. sounded a bit too highbrow and war and peace-like to clueless me.

years later, a co-worker finally insisted that i read p & p. i fell in absolute love with austen's wit. i still consider that book to be the best love story i've ever read. i immediately inhaled all of her other books like so many lines of cocaine, but never got the same high. while sense and sensibility and emma were two of her best, neither one of them came close to shining as brightly as pride and prejudice. like they say, you never forget your first love.

i can't remember how it came up, but in a conversation with pablo (i feel it necessary to give him some credit for the inspiration, although he might not want to claim any), i decided to write a jane austen rap. and now it can be unveiled. maybe it can be worked into jane austen, the musical. (you know someone, somewhere, is working on it.)

yo, jane austen raps!

don�t believe the negative hype
that dude talkin� smack had an ill gripe.
once e-beth realized the rumors were wack,
baby girl asked for this cat to come back.

d-d-darcy-d-d-d-darcy

worried �bout her naive sis,
she tried to talk that girl some �sense.�
emma thompson scribed her lines,
and tamed hugh grant, pre-divine.

e-e-elinor-e-e-e-elinor

a meddlin� matchmaker down on her luck,
yo, her cupid skillz were totally duck.
once dissed a guy for his lack of the bling bling,
then her tale got adapted by amy heckerling.
