Ode to Shakespeare

If Shakespeare had a bust
I'm sure it'd be gathering dust

(I eat bhindi and corn
My aplogies, I'm not to the manor born)

Wonder why he wrote about Ophelia and Calpurnia
When I hear he was drunk, gay and suffered from hernia

Wonder how he did cope
When with another man, he could not elope

I trust he saw in the Merchant of Venice
A really large ......umm...... need for cleanliness

Before I continue on his many a quirk
I must leave, or my boss will sack me from work
