William Shakespeare

Of the greatest writer there is no doubt
The man from Stratford and years gone by
We still give praise and his works we flout
And Shakespeare’s writing will never die
As an actor in the Lord Chanberlain’s men
Many dramatic plays he stared and wrote
Numerous sonnets came from his pen
and many times we will hear a quote
The complete work have all survived
Of a British subject in whom were proud
Many times his works have been revived
He’s inspired people in every crowd
So to the Bard of Avon I raise my glass
And if this doesn’t win you can kiss my

Hi Orpheus

An excellent sonnet, an amusing if incomplete rhyming couplet. I can't imagine anyone struggling to much to figure out the missing word.

Cheers

Alas, It may seem crass but I could not amass a single word that rhymes with Glass, So as for the end, I'll have to pass.
