TIME TO WHEEL OUT MY ANECDOTE: in Year 10 we were studying Macbeth and went to see the production coincidentally running at the Malvern Winter Gardens.
It was the one set in a modern cult where Jane Horrocks (actually) pissed on her hands to wash off the imaginary blood.
1/3 Edward Lear, "Spots of Greece"
Papa once went to Greece, And there I understand
He saw no end of lovely spots
About that lovely land.
He talks about these spots of Greece
To both Mama and me
Yet spots of Greece upon my dress
They can't abear to see!
2/2 (not /3 as posted first)
...I cannot make it out at all--
If ever on my Frock
They see the smallest Spot of Greece
It gives them quite a shock!
Henceforth, therefore -- to please them both
These spots of Greece no more
Shall be upon my frock at all--
Nor on my Pinafore.

Teacher was thrilled.
