Devotion Honored

Kneeling in prayer, the King folded his hands
  His assassination thusly prevented
  Times were different then, devotion honored
    ~ Stabs in the back were frowned on

  What Hamlet simply could not bear to do
  Today (that) would feel refreshing and new
  Not taking advantage of his arch-foe
    ~ Sheathing his dagger, away he tiptoed

The harder I try, the luckier I get. That's all I can say... Now as for your 'Comments to Die For' pills: Can you send a box over quick! Thanks, gw

Valsa George Date: 9/13/2022 9:33:00 PM I am reminded of having studied Hamlet, the most popular of Shakespeare's tragedies in my post graduate class and I recollect the scene.
