Now are there fans of Shakespeare in the audience today? <br />Perhaps you may know that in Shakespearian- speak, a warden is <br />known to be a large, hard pear chiefly used for baking and roasting. <br />Now this is interesting for Harrow, as we are presently in the home <br />community of the most popular agricultural fair of all time, with that <br />being of course the Harrow Fair. Now as part of that fair there is a <br />traditional pie auction, and I've been to many of them, and I've heard <br />them call out `pear' pies in the past but it is clear now that they should <br />have been calling them warden pies, especially if they were made <br />from warden pears. <br />Yet, I get a sense that bids on a warden wouldn't fetch much, and <br />noting that the proceeds support the John McGivney Foundation, let's <br />not make political pie of such a great children's organization. Instead <br />let's do or write what Shakespeare would likely pen in reference to <br />the pear fruit that has been personified into such a curious title as <br />warden. <br />"I would have him roasted like a warden." Now whether <br />Shakespeare would have penned such a thing or maybe it was a <br />quote from other political circles, I'll let your imaginations determine <br />what tale is told in that surefire bestseller. <br />I have to ask if you have had enough fun on this word play yet? <br />Because I have just one more. <br />3 <br />
