“Shakes” he was a poet

The Twelfth Night, he wrote it

About Olivia a dame

She was too vain

She caused a lot of pain


She wooed all the males

She put on a veil

To hide her tale

Of her sorrow


On the morrow

She revealed her fame

Her beauty was untamed


She must have loved her brother

Like she loved no other

“Cause when he died she cried

And hid herself inside

And vowed not to marry

For seven years to any


King Orsono groaned like thunder

His cry made you wonder

What he had for supper

Or how bad he loved her


She gave him the cold shoulder

But he grew much bolder

He sent his Eunuch over


But much to his disgrace

She liked his pretty face


But her disgrace would be the same

“Cause the boy he was a dame

Viola was her name

A princess hid in shame
