Lickspittles, Buttonholers and Damned Pernicious Go-Betweens by Johnna Adams
During the Napoleonic wars, three extraneous Danish court officialsa professional loudmouth (the buttonholer), a kiss-ass for hire (the lickspittle), and a successful dastard (the go-between)are tossed out of court just as Denmarks merchant fleet becomes of strategic importance. The three men journey to France and meet Napoleons top lickspittle, buttonholer, and go-betweenwho are females?! Unnecessarily complex plots abound, flying machines are destroyed, and the head of Marie Antoinette is discovered during the madcap struggle to save Copenhagen from British howitzers. With an extraordinary use of rhyming alexandrine verse, plus cameos by sestina, haiku, free verse, limericks, and sonnets, LICKSPITTLES, BUTTONHOLERS AND DAMNED PERNICIOUS GO-BETWEENS is a farce for the ages, a delightful romp no matter your poetic preferences.
