So here's a poem I whipped up today. Enjoy yourself!
Puck’s Mischief - Sarah Aman
So I was trotting through the wood today
Looking for a prank to play,
When I espied a traveling troupe
Of country bumpkins, fools to boot.
I thought to myself, “Now here’s a way,
To surely brighten up my day.
They’re awfully close to the fairy queen,
Close enough that they’ll be seen?”
And so I watched, with upmost glee
Hidden behind a nearby tree.
“I see they are putting on a play!
I’ll wait to see what they’ve to say.”
A stupid man, Bottom was he,
Had his cue to turn and flee.
And so, of course, I followed too,
Looking to cause much ado.
Before he came back to his crew,
I played a trick, and upon him sew
An ass’s head, and sent him out.
His friends surely did not hang about!
And just as I had planned in fact,
Titania awoke from her spelled nap
Just as Bottom, singing, passed.
And she fell in love with him, an ass!
Note: Sorry about the 'naughty word', but I figured ya'll are mature enough to handle it ;)
