All The World's a Stage

People may frighten us by making shouts.
Often, they threaten us throwing big bouts.
Remain composed.
Don't get exposed.
Patience and silence are the best knockouts!



A deaf ass meets a dumb tiger, one day.
The tiger pretends growling at his prey.
It believes that the ass hears.
The ass fakes as if it fears.
All the world's a stage! Anyone can play.
