Shakespeare

Some say he didn’t write that stuff –
The merry Bard of Avon,
But, if he didn’t, then, who did?
And who thought it worth savin’?

Some say that secret codes abound
Concealed within Will’s phrases
‘Bout Protestants and Catholics
And people in high places.

To others he’s beyond compare,
Will Shakespeare is the greatest,
His plays perfection, sonnets pure,
But have you heard the latest –

He may have been a genius,
His head among the stars,
But, did you know, apparently,
He landed here from Mars?!
