[bodytext] => I ain’t Shakespear and won’t soon be though he turns a mean soliloquy. And I admit his rhymes are pretty fine, His phrases smooth as store-bought wine. But I can’t help but ponder some ‘bout the choice of words he chooses from. Those Ye’s and Nay’s and Thou’s and Thee, Don’t lend much to its clarity. When You’s and Me’s and Theirs and Them Help folks like me to comprehend. And Who, What, Whys and Where’s and When Come easier to understand. Now I know that Shakespear ain’t from here, but from the land of Guinevere, King Arthur and Sir Lancelot. Some foreign town called “Camelot.” Still don’t it seem that Shakes could just Communicate like all of us? And speak American or something close Where yes means yes and no’s mean no’s. But I guess that might just be too much To “simplify” for folks like us. He’s Shakespear after all you see And that’s to be… for e’er to be!
