Quote(CNN) -- Hast thou been patterning thy parlance to evoke the vernacular of William Shakespeare?
Well, get thee to an Internet machine hastily, sirrah or mistress, for thou hast but two days from Tuesday to unleash thy inner bard.

Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago, Illinois, has declared Thursday as "Talk Like Shakespeare Day" to celebrate the 445th birthday of the man many consider the greatest playwright in the English language.

While the bard's actual birth date is not known for sure, many scholars think it was April 23, 1564.

In a proclamation issued last week, Daley encouraged city residents to "screw their courage to the sticking place and celebrate Shakespeare by vocal acclamation of his words."

But must our speech, in truth, be writ by hand,
In iambic pentameter, as well?
Fear the "A"!!!

A troubling request, thalaw makes on us. Hath he not consider'd, with the dialect of our era being as thus, that such a day would be difficult? Allow us thee not, dear Thalaw, another talk like a pirate day?

Yarr'th!

Away varlets! Thy words offend me!
Pursue perfection, but accept excellence.
