The Bard's Play
Plural: Unknown
This is the complete works of The Bard. No, not Shakespeare. That would be much too heavy. This is the contemporary bard. His complete works only extend five pages. But just from glancing at those pages you can tell five pages is plenty. For one thing, he appears to have tried to one-up his predecessor by writing in iambic hexameter. While you were surprised to find that's actually a valid poetic format, it's still a silly thing to do.
