THE SHAKESPEARE LOVER

Lord and Lady
He-Haw

our resident donkeys
are courting in the field

behind the cottage.

They kiss and nuzzle.

Lord He-Haw tells her that
he waited for the master to run a bath

so that the window would steam up.

"Then I made a dash for
his Collected Shakespeare and

munched my way through the Histories
....they were tough going.

The Tragedies were a bit more tasty
especially that Macbeth!

The Comedies were a bit more-ish!

I was just getting my teeth into
Othello when

the master ran screaming
naked into the field

saving what was left of
the Moor of Venice!"

Lady He-Haw can't help
braying.

"Thieves...thieves" he shouted.
"Put out the light and then put out the light!"

I didn't know what he was on
about.

"Oh He-Haw you are a one!
Here give us a nuzzle!

I love it when you talk
Shakespeare."
