LITERACY TESTS

by @julie-grenness

Shakespeare would have failed Naplan, That was not in his cunning plan, Yes, his folks would have him tutored, To ensure Billy became learned, He would have lost his homework, Billy did so not want extra work, Shakespeare, that teen scallywag, It was total fun, such a lad. Now Shakespeare is a wraith, Why, Billy, why? Teens sayeth, As they serially fail literacy tests, Why not abolish that Billy pest? Tragic heroes and drama queens, That's the teens writing essays on such scenes, While Billy failed in literacy, Teens do sense such hypocrisy.

I read that Shakespeare would have failed the Australian compulsory literacy test. Feedback welcome.
