Just William

~

bard, 

too short a word

to fill such genius shoes,

one syllable that 

birthed soliloquys

all too meagre recompense for

comedies or tragedies alike,

we know the work

no so the man,

such perfect words

beauty too rich for use

polish our tongue

adding rich sauce to

poor mans’ meat
