Joe Maverick Poet Rhyme

shake spears house '

His old house is crumbling away..Speed- aged by a motorist..I do not make any play.'
Its on the register of old English buildings at risk.'
Estimates at dollars sixteen million to fix
Such very old sticks.' Which i think is exessive as
Its only built light' beams laths and clay tiles 
Foundations rather slim, on average only nine
Inches, the earth deep in.' so that cost
 i see as really
Grim, nearly as obverblown? as is great appreciation of him."

sara Etgen-Baker May 3, 2026 at 4:54 PM Shakepeare was way ahead of his time....his insights into politics and human nature are spot on....what a creative genius! Joe Maverick May 3, 2026 at 9:36 PM Maybe he was i already alluded to the çrossdressing prevelant if his plays and theatre now..He was also tried in court For assulting boys i'll put that as a term..Yet it went nowhere.. He was a royal favorite and promoter on the monarchy..Some things are perrenial it appears Sara.? Thank you for taking time here.'

Andrea Dietrich May 2, 2026 at 12:04 PM Ohhh you went after appreciation of him as well! I think he was clearly wise in his time. He knew what the public liked and he delivered. Makes me wonder about talented women of that time who were not allowed to even publish their poetry. Personally I have never enjoyed reading Shakespeare because I find old English difficult to understand. I do like that he popularized sonnets even though I prefer more modern ones to his. Joe Maverick May 2, 2026 at 1:12 PM Its horses for courses Andrea even appreciation wise and with writers..I don't claim the status of Tolstoy..Yet I know some facts.' Thank you for your time.'
