William Shakespeare and Me

I shalt ne'er be a famous bard such as William Shakespeare. From mine pathetic poetical quill he hath naught to fear! Mine immoral mot, "Where'er thou mayest be let thine water flow free", I fear shalt ne'er compare to Bill's immortal line, "To be or not to be!" "He hath eaten me out of house and home!" could be said of mine cat! (Why could not I have conceived that line - all I can say is drat!) "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!" cried Richard The Third! (If I had said that, people would have deemed me quite absurd!) "Brevity is the soul of wit!" and thus "This is the short and long of it!" Alas, I shan't match wits with Willie so while I'm ahead I'd better quit! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved
