Happy birthday William

Happy Birthday William Shakespeare.

a low born man from the county of the chained up bear

who moved to that London to seek a living and fame

in that acting and writing game.

500 odd years later

some would have us believe you were a faker

because they can’t reconcile your genius

with that of the son of an illiterate glove maker.

They wish to convince us of a reality

where your sonnets and plays

were written by a member of the aristocracy

but ‘better a witty fool than a foolish wit’

those naysayers are just full of Cordelia and Hamlet.
