Shakespeare's Birthday
Today’s the day we celebrate
The birthday of the Bard.
His authorship has caused debate,
Which I just disregard.
For William Shakespeare’s poems and plays
Will never find an equal.
His way with words and turn of phrase
Leave no room for a sequel.
It’s centuries since Shakespeare died
Yet all his words are living.
His brilliance let him still provide
The pleasure he keeps giving.
So on this day I’ve penned this sonnet
Just so we could think upon it.
