Could you please keep the noise down? It is disturbing my schedule.
yours,
William Butler Yeats (First of that Name)
Dear William,Sorry about the noise. It's just that I like to listen to the news headlines of a morning. I will be more considerate in future. You do realise that you are named after a famous Irish poet?
Deirdre
Dear Deirdre,
No I did not realise that. How irritating. Which one? I hope it's not Patrick Kavanagh. I saw a statue of him that looked kind of mean.
William Butler Yeats (First of that name)
Dear William,
You are named after William Butler Yeats. You cannot be William Butler Yeats (First of that name) because there was already a William Butler Yeats before you, who had that name. First.
Deirdre
Dear Deirdre,
I'm not convinced. Is he on google?
William Butler Yeats (First of that name)
Dear William,
You should be. And yes, William Butler Yeats is on google. He was an important man.
Deirdre
Dear Deirdre,
What did he do then, if he was so important?
William Butler Yeats (First of that name)
Dear William,
I just TOLD you he was on google. Look him up. He was an important writer.
Deirdre
Dear Deirdre,
You think every writer is an important writer. Just because you like to write you think that it's, like, this big important deal that everyone has to care about. Get over yourself.
William Butler Yeats (First of that name that anyone ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT)
Dear William,
He was a senator too, for two terms, according to Wikipedia. He wrote LOADS of stuff- poems and plays and stories and things.
Deirdre.
Dear Deirdre,
How do you know when you google him that you're not getting stuff that I did mixed up with stuff that he did? I was a senator as well for a while, remember?
William Butler Yeats (First of that name, even though others beg to differ)
Dear William,
No you weren't.
Deirdre
Dear Deirdre,
Yes I was. You wouldn't remember because it was before you were born.
William Butler Yeats (First of that name)
Dear William,
You are four and a half. You were not around before I was born.
Deirdre
Dear Deirdre,
What about my time machine?
William Butler Yeats (first of that name)
Dear William,
I can't BELIEVE I forgot about your time machine. Sorry. My bad.
Deirdre
Dear Deirdre,
It's perfectly alright. Nobody expects a guinea pig to own a time machine. Much less to befriend a young solicitor, devilling with Issac Butt and ultimately persuade him to throw it all in and become the artist he always had been in his heart of hearts. Or have that artist name his first born son after him.
William Butler Yeats (first of that name)Dear William,
Are you talking about John Butler Yeats?!!!!
Deirdre
Dear Deirdre,
Yes I am!!!
William Butler Yeats (First of that name)
Dear William,
So William Butler Yeats is your namesake?
Deirdre
Dear Deirdre,
Yes. Here is a letter proving exactly that.

Oh My God this is brilliant its my first time on here, whoo hoo! You had me smiling and giggling away to myself like a freak in my kitchen
yay! So glad you appreciate William and all the small furry crazy that he brings...
That is brilliant!! I laughed so much. But intense. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Didn't see the twist at the end coming...
Nobody ever expects a Guinea Pig to change the course of history. But William is nothing if not unprecedented.
