It’s been four hundred years since Shakespeare’s sad demise
My, it’s surprising how quickly time flies
In honour of the passing of the Bard
I thought a written tribute to him wouldn’t be so hard
After all, I’ve written a few LinkedIn essays
That probably couldn’t compete with any of his plays
But it must be said that Measure for Measure
Writing this epistle is not a task of leisure
Now the article may not be quite As You Like It
And I agree wholeheartedly, it’s not quite Hamlet
But let’s not turn this into a Tempest in a teacup
For any harsh criticism you should ease up.
And it’s true that most LinkedIn writing is not King Lear
So from his grave, Billy boy should not fear
But if this ditty is just quite As you Like It
It should in LinkedIn be truly a fit.
We had Henry’s four, five, six and eight
But it’s true for Shakespeare, number 7 did dissipate
And he also wrote Richard the second and third
But from Richard the first, nothing was heard
Now I may be making Much Ado About Nothing
And to William’s defence people will come rushing
And to me King Lear sounds a little naughty
With me you might disagree if you’re a little haughty
You might say his writings were not quite complete
But it would be easy to tell me to please don’t bleat
So I guess All’s Well That Ends Well
Because all of his writing was really quite swell
And if you think there’s any easy rhyme for Coriolanus.
You’re wrong.
