OURS IS....

Shakespeare came to me in a dream

holding the secrets I've longed to know

he told me it is easier than it seems

then with painted words he did show

He spoke in riddles yet I could see

the gifts he was trying to bestow

and before too long it came to me

that it is all how the words flow

He felt he'd done what he came to do

and he began to fade in a mist

and though the dream was all through

there still was a bit of a twist

seems as I dreamt I wrote it down

yet I'd never done that before

my writing sure made my husband frown

for it was written on my kitchen floor !!

Tee hee hee... I wish !!

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
