At the Cloud

When I had grown old enough, I decided to visit the cloud. I met Prufrock there, He was very old, and complaining. He was single like me, But very displeased unlike me. He said, “Man! If I were Hamlet!” I was a bit puzzled. Eating my burning omelet, I asked, “Are you a fan of Shakespeare?” “No, my creator is. I'm too lazy to read.” “Oh! But if you were him, You'd have been dead, not married.” “Yeah, that's right, my boy. I never thought that way! So, why are you single?” “I read your creator far too much.” -Pin Dew (02/05/2017) Note: Experimental Burlesque- There are no intended rhymes. Usually, Burlesques have a definite rhyme pattern.
