U for Understanding the Bard in ABC of Sports

Apologies: 1 This is not sports as such 

but perhaps just take it sportingly

Apologies: 2  To the Bard for putting some

light moments to his serious drama and tragedies

In the early part of his ‘career’

‘Scarface’ made a show of his benevolent nature

'Rob the rich and give to the poor'

Like Robin Hood an icon of folklore

Perhaps calling himself  Robin the Hood was better

Not wanting to miss out on a golden opportunity

Perhaps he could also blurt out 

‘all the world’s a stage let’s rob it!’ silly

Thus the beginnings of the Chicago big rout

Rather not to dilly-dally much of the time

to be or not to be is NOT the question

Just do it for all it takes if it is not a crime

A good cause is never wrong

Where art thou?  Juliet lamented

Missing her beau waiting to be escorted

I want nothing more nothing less

I demand my pound of flesh

Hear ye countrymen lend me your ears

Have won at New York have no fears

As a politician I come not to bury Caesar

But to build a wall south of the border

Et tu Brute?
