Much Ado About Nothing

Much Ado About Nothing

In this well written verse of deception

By your well known William

Who school students know as shakespeare

And wittified boys know as “he who shakes speares”

A story unfolds, but two parts I like

One before and one after a deception that kings all others

Two Humans argue, or rather debate, for

When Benedick debates with Beatrice

(which is the nearest to their talk,)

They use witty words, and flying phrases

Disguised punches, and ten letter words

Rather than using Claudio’s rotten oranges

They use phrases such as “Parrot Teacher”

And instead of calling each other old fruit

Benedick claims Beatrice is “Lady Disdain”

And Beatrice retorts with the converse.

Later after they both have been deceived,

Told that the other is dying for them.

Benedick leaps into a conversation

Where he attempts to proclaim his deceived love

(Not deceptive in itself, but tricked into being pierced

By little cupids crafty arrow)

As the oblivious young man he is,

He speaks in the worst time at the worst place

When Beatrice is in distress, and wishes rotten Claudio dead

Than as Benedick swears he loves Beatrice

She tells him to swallow his foolhardy words

In his witty way soaked in lovelorn thoughts

Benedick  proclaims no syrup could make him do it.

Now in truth Beatrice thinks she loves Benedick

So after a flurry of words and phrases

Naming people as villains, with oxymorons in between

Beatrice reveals her love for Benedick,

And Benedick decides to take Claudio to account

Thus ends a poem well written and worded

By Mister “Shake a speare” in Much Ado About Nothing.
