Shakespearian Limericks

When Romeo called for his love
And gazed at the window above
In a ribbon of light
She came into sight
Juliet his own turtle dove

~~~~

Hamlet contemplating his end
Was sorely in need of a friend
To be or be not
A most vexing tho't
That drove poor Ham round the bend

~~~~

A rose is a rose is a rose
T'would smell just as sweet the tale goes
The nose smells as well
And so I've heard tell
The same can be said of one's toes

Author notes

Just a bit of fun using two of my favourite things - Limericks & Shakespeare :-)

    These were so fun to read!
    I am so glad I decided to come peruse your page a bit, otherwise I might not have gotten the chance to read these. Actually I owe you a big thank you, had you not taken the time to be the thoughtful you that you decided to be today... this whole circle of events would not have taken place. Thank you so much for having that kind thoughtful heart that you possess!

    A wonderful lighthearted read that was a pure pleasure to review.

    Hugs,

    Suzi

    Dear Anne,

    Roger Bacon said that Shakespeare was a fool
    who employed the English language as a tool
    in Elizabethan days
    to write long and wordy plays
    and we had to learn a lot of them at school.

    Well, a few of them were really quite exciting
    and the one about Lucrezia's quite inviting
    but the one about King Lear
    is inordinately drear
    and I'm sick of Hamlet's infinite reciting.

    Now there's one small thing that often puzzles me
    when a Shakespeare play upon the stage I see:
    those tight leotards they wear
    with no opening anywhere....
    what on earth do actors do who need to pee?

    I LOVE your limericks - hope you like mine! LOL.
    Actually, I love Shakespeare and limericks too.
    Applause, love and hugs, XXX Hugh.
