The Shaxpear Limericks

Posted 03-29-2002 at PFFA.

Hamlimerick

Prince Hamlet had many a notion
about honor, revenge and devotion.
He spent five solid hours
using all of his powers
to soliloquize. Still. Without motion.

Othellimerick

Sufficient, the warlike Othello
had passed over Iago, a fellow
who plotted alone. A
distraught Desdemona
then cried 'til her kerchief turned yellow.

The Scottish Limerick

Macbeth was the king of the Scots,
that is, 'til his woman saw spots.
"Macduff, I've been gypped:
you were untimely ripped,
and here comes a forest that trots."

The Present Death of Hamlimericks

Said Claudius, "I'm king. My prerogative."
So Hamlet thought, "Something has gotta give.
I'll feign indigestion
and -- what was the question?"
In Denmark, they're quite interrogative.

Just a collection...
