William Shakespeare is one of several writers who produced great works when stuck behind closed doors (he was in quarantine when he wrote King Lear.)

With our own 'Fifty Shades of Grey Hair' - see classics for the thread - firmly in mind, we thought it might be time for us to gather together and write a new great work between us. Who wants to start?!

The man, for such it was, uttered a chilling phrase: "Gidday cobber, yer bog rolls or your life", all the while brandishing a wilted cabbage in one hand, and a vegemite sandwich in the other. Our hero, in one mighty leap,

where the wild bears roam, there lived a troll (full de roll) in a deep dark dank cave in the cliff face soaring above the tree tops. As soon as he heard the lovely maiden running through the undergrowth - "oh damn" she cried "I've snagged my tights and I'm so far from a shop And will they be open anyway" - he slowly raised his nose and sniffed the air.

She had reached the castle gates when a man sauntered up to her casually and said, "Hey babe wanna be in the movies? My name's Walt Disney, but you can call me Walt." She turned sharply to shout at him "Don't you know who I am? I'm far too busy to talk to you, I've got to.....
