Robert Burns

 

I wish that Robert Burns

Would walk into a lecture,

Say: 'Yer speculation's nonsense, lads,

At best just bad conjecture.'

 

Shakespeare would follow him,

Filled with awesome rage,

Proclaim: 'These plays are not for you

But for players on the stage.'

 

And a wandering Walt Whitman,

Pulling at his beard

Letting go, would then let loose:

‘Exactly what I’d feared’.

 

And as the hall erupts,

Dylan, dressed in red,

Would dance into the brouhaha,

Singin’: 'I'm not even dead.'

Reviews

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A fun and quirky ditty that shows your breadth of reading and knowledge. It reads well and ends on a humorous note.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it; I enjoyed writing it. I wrote it a couple of years ago I think but just added Walt Whitman last week; think I might add to it again some time - the list could go on and on...
