Channeling Shakespeare

Dillon loved word play. Shakespeare, his hero, had been a master.
Sangeeta rolled her eyes every time he started. “Why couldn't I have dated a poet, or a novelist, instead of a playwright?”
“It wouldn’t help.” Dillon laughed. “Poetry and prose are a writer's tools, but the play’s the thing.”
Thanks to Srinath for the prompt words poetry, prose, plays. I took a little license with plays, using it twice as play and play’s.
Haha! A pretty nifty use of 'play'. Loved it! And the Indian touch you gave to it. And that you used Shakespeare, my favourite playwright! :-)
