Bored? Try Bard!
For those who think that Shakespeare isn't fun,
It's possible you simply haven't tried
Incorporating language we have shunned --
Such as, "Alackaday," "Forsooth," and "Bung"!
(For readers worried "Bung" might be obscene,
It's just Elizabethan slang for purse.)
Today, Talk of the Nation will convene
a panel to explain why to converse
In daily life just like you're Rosalind...
Macbeth, or like his famous nagging wife.
For if you're weary of the daily grind...
A speech from Will might add some spice to life!
But do beware, if Bard fan you may be,
Mercutio's song might vex the FCC.
