My favorite will always be King Lear;
So many people, while watching, will shed a tear.
Julius Caesar follows close, I tell you;
Studying it in depth, how much I grew!
Macbeth was great with lots of good quotes;
I listed many of them on pages of notes.
Hamlet's so pretentious, too familiar to us;
His father's ghost haunts the Prince to cuss!
Richard II was wordy and glib;
Richard III was quick with a fib.
Henry IV made his move so to reign;
Henry V loafed with Falstaff in vain!
Romeo and Juliet sure breaks your heart;
Innocent young lovers so doomed from the start!
The Merchant of Venice leaves us undone;
And the quality of mercy is finally won.
The storm in The Tempest gets action to flow;
Caliban and Ariel are so in the know.
A Midsummer Night's Dream so enthralls;
Always remember Puck after the curtain falls.
