I aint Shakespear and wont 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 cant help but ponder some
bout the choice of words he chooses from.
Those Yes and Nays and Thous and Thee,
Dont lend much to its clarity.
When Yous and Mes and Theirs and Them
Help folks like me to comprehend.
And Who, What, Whys and Wheres and When
Come easier to understand.
Now I know that Shakespear aint from here,
but from the land of Guinevere,
King Arthur and Sir Lancelot.
Some foreign town called Camelot.
Still dont it seem that Shakes could just
Communicate like all of us?
And speak American or something close
Where yes means yes and nos mean nos.
But I guess that might just be too much
To simplify for folks like us.
Hes Shakespear after all you see
And thats to be for eer to be!
