oh what a punny play
there were so many puns in this poem its ridiculous. i would have to say that my favorite pun was when kinesis was talking to myrrine and he says "i've been up for hours. i was up before i was up." hahahahaha, he was talking about his erection and it makes me laugh, that part just killed me. i think the puns make this play a lot more interesting than it would be if they had just stated what they meant. i mean saying "i've been up for hours, because of this raging erection." wouldn't be as funny as how it was stated through the pun. the play on words makes you look deeper in the text than you normally would, it's like doing a commentary and analyzling the text as you go along. some puns are harder to catch than others but that just makes you look that much deeper into the text and makes you understand what you're reading better. it's good.

LOL...o wow...yea that pun was pretty funny-It's crazy how these men are going so crazy for sex and it hasn't even been an entire day yet-I don't know about these men, but dang-I didn't know they couldn't even handle one day-that's crazy. It does make me feel like a better reader focusing on the language such as puns and metaphors!!!!
yeah, i think our whole class knows that u thought it was funny, u frickin busted out laughin n seemed 2 have a hard time stoppin. as for the idea that puns make it funnier, i def agree. if he had stated the "raging erection" thing i think the audience would have grimiced. just a little, but grimmaced none the less.
