My Dear Burbage

Quote from Berowne in "As You Like It" 
"And I, forsooth, in love!". Now Shakespeare speaking with his good friend Richard Burbage..... 

I must tell you forsooth
of my midsummer dream
a witch conjures bluetooth
her thoughts an air stream

oh crucify me not
t'is just a fantasy
and a wonderous plot
for some more alchemy

my very dear Burbage
this bluetooth will be king
Lear is merely garbage
when the airwaves can sing

now what madness is this
my dear friend, think again
to an ear no such kiss
of an unseen refrain

t'was an enticing thought
but I must beg of you
the notion is but naught
to taming of the shrew

ah well Burbage old friend
your counsel I so respect
thoughts of bluetooth I will end
my thanks for your connect

Thanks for your kind feedback. Shakespeare had had great foresight, and he might have liked a bit of Larcs hindsight? . Cheers Larcs
