The Day I Stabbed Shakespeare's Ghost, And Also Made Him Laugh
I once possessed
An Elizabethan Silver Sixpence
(It had seen better days)
And i wondered
Through whose hands
It had once passed
Also
As i held this coin
In the palm of my hand
That it may once of
Been sat in the palm
Of William Shakespeare!
I then imagined
His ghost appearing
Shouting:
"Oye you, hermpen homespun!"
"Return my silver forthwith!"
I responded:
"Depart my humble abode, now!"
"You're bard!"
He responded:
"Is this a dagger i see before me?"
"No! tis the butter knife you fool!" sayeth i
"It is i, that has the dagger!"
I then plunged it into Shakespeare's ghostly heart
I heard his spirit laugh
Then, as though floating, on the winds of time
I heard "What fools these mortals be?"
i was then lost in my reverie
