Shakespear

Contributed by tomt102444 on Tuesday, 22nd February 2005 @ 12:35:08 PM in AEST
Topic: HumorPoetry

I ain’t Shakespear and won’t soon be
though he turns a mean soliloquy.
And I admit his rhymes are pretty fine,
His phrases smooth as store-bought wine.

But I can’t help but ponder some
‘bout the choice of words he chooses from.
Those Ye’s and Nay’s and Thou’s and Thee,
Don’t lend much to its clarity.

When You’s and Me’s and Theirs and Them
Help folks like me to comprehend.
And Who, What, Whys and Where’s and When
Come easier to understand.

Now I know that Shakespear ain’t from here,
but from the land of Guinevere,
King Arthur and Sir Lancelot.
Some foreign town called “Camelot.”

Still don’t it seem that Shakes could just
Communicate like all of us?
And speak American or something close
Where yes means yes and no’s mean no’s.

But I guess that might just be too much
To “simplify” for folks like us.
He’s Shakespear after all you see
And that’s to be… for e’er to be!
