To the bard


Foul expression - your delight
Fun extraction - power's might
comedy's humane insights
Grin and bear of human plight
New words we still employ
400 year after and enjoy
Your plays and poems destroy
And inspire the ideas' alloy
The tragedies still play out
In yesterday's twist and shout
Handing on  a tray our lout
Of stupidity vanity and flout
 No true sonnet Will my hero
Death of quatrains in vitro.
