The Bard
—————
He was called Avon’s Bard,
And he made students’ lives hard.
His sonnets with iambic pentameter,
Even now, it is an ungauged parameter.
Students feel that his comical plays,
Are nothing but a mistaken identity maze.
He a playwright? They oft wonder,
As for them, his plays are a blunder.
The king of poetry and speech,
The more you read, his work becomes a leech.
They make you stay glued on,
That they becoming a leech I can’t forgone.
