False Antics


False Antics

There Hamlet dragged the body which he slain

Acting truly antic in Gertude's sight

Some say that young Hamlet has gone insane

However, his dark deeds led to insight

 

Hamlet did make a pledge to hide his plan

To gain all leadership over the land,

To avenge his father's finishing man,

and to leave his mother to death's just hand

 

Gay maniac tis his clever disguise

With random bouts of camels included

Guess not even Polonius, the wise

The witty prince leaving all deluded

 

The killing only an attempt to to cease

Death's blow which disrupted the old king's peace
