Hamlet Response

To write, or to not write this poem—

That is the question.

Whether it is honorable to do so,

And gain class credits and more;

Or to not, and suffer loss of responsibility and respect.

I would rather sleep, than write of Shakespeare

Who though a genius, is like an overplayed song that will not leave my head.

Whoever assigned this poem, and so expects it to be written,

To you I give this title—The Man.

And to you I ask,

Why would I write this poem, if I was not wary of the consequences of not doing so?
