@Jessicalynnt has offered another great poetry challenge, this time centred on the five words; story, motley, hidden, walk, teeth. Here is my effort, thanks. Poem - Not To Be That Is The Answer The show must go on with the motley, Not to be confused with Dick Dastardly’s dog Mutley Everyone wants to see my one man mime telling of the Hamlet story As I reveal my hidden talent in all its glory Generating much wailing and gnashing of teeth As people see the true meaning of the tragedy beneath The Danish Prince’s tale and collectively walk To the box office for refunds, threatening to talk To their lawyers, realizing that Shakespeare was a total jerk Thanks to my definitive perfect interpretation of his work. Cruel critics will blame me of course, failing to see my genius While defending their precious Bard against my blasphemous heinous Ham back in Hamlet travesty of his tragedy, I must so suffer for my humble thespian majesty Now I must go out there to educated the ungrateful masses The subtlety of my sublime skill the feeble audience mind surpasses The show must go on with the motley, Not to be confused with Dick Dastardly’s dog Mutley Arthur Chappell
