Some of us have read his plays

And been like “What the hell is this?”

But take your time with every line

And you soon begin to get the gist

 

Well, what to know about the man

He led a pretty decent life

He made a living with his pen

Married Annie H. his darling wife

 

What people love about Shakespeare

Is how well he turn-a-phrase

Make us feel the deepest things

In tragicomic ways

 

It’s not by luck we still read him

Instead of so much other junk

And so the light will not go dim

We play the William Shakespeare Funk
