Shakespearean Spoiler

I sat down to write a freewrite, but my mind was in a more fun mood. So, a limerick:

Of her love, his wife made a big show

Brutus simply had no way to know ‘bout the sordid affair

Of that unlikely pair:

Portia’s Artemidorus’s ho.

This has a lot of backstory, so, long story short, things get awkward when you accidentally end up married to one of your guy friends while reading Shakespeare in English class. And, to help a little, a quote from Portia: “…then Portia is not Brutus’s wife, Portia is Brutus’s harlot.”
