It Begins
Away away
Henry V did say
As into battle he did go
Storming walls of Honfleur
With many merry men
Shakespeare wrote all this
History of English monarchs too
Able he was to write on any subject
Just as I do

Fantasy in Midsummer's NIght Dream
Murdering doings are Hamlet's theme
Merry Wives of Windsor
Strutting cross the stage
Men in women's clothing seen

History
All this and more
He could well do
Mighty handle on words
Themes and knowledge too
I often wonder how he knew....
Some think a ghost writer he did have
Never this can be proved
For historical truth cannot be gleaned
No matter where you go
It really is of no import
His writings still with us
Who wrote them if not he
Long dead ....history

Order of the day
Left to us brilliance
In word and deed
Few his knowledge can exceed
Masterly in every way
Out of no-thing could pluck words
Twist them
Shape them
Add unto
Till they became
Masterpieces of verse
A play for every season
Sonnets for every reason
Even for the queen
At Globe Theatre players performed
All men of course
Women not allowed on stage
Such was the order of that age
A very silly one!

Future .....
So what do we have today
In little playhouses around
Much mockery goes on
Really no different happenings
To what went on before
I wonder oft what will come
As through the years we go
Will books get burned
Or some such things
As has been done before
When just a few in power rule
Their dogma and their creed
Blared out for everyone to hear
Perhaps there will still be few of us
In secret we will write
And share the freedom of our words
With others willing to hear
Who knows.......
