To clap or not to clap That is the question Whether it is nobler to clap only when there is a great performance And give the slings and arrows of absolute silence Or to yell out insults of ridicule To die on stage To sleep no more And by to say we end our future performances So there will be no heartache from a thousand natural shocks The crowds seems more into consumption of their sandwiches Their beer swilling Now there's the rub But I still have a dream To perform a performance that will give them hope Make them dream May there be all bad performances forgotten And all good ones remembered forever And that the clapping and good will Will be mine

About this poem:
Got a lot of claps last week for The Ghetto by Elvis, got no claps last night for Burning Down the House by Talking Heads.

My best is Easy by Lionel Richie.
Like to hear you doing The Ghetto
Liked the parody of Hamlet
Thought the same as OZ.. Karaoke?
Karaoke is not my thing.. simply can't sing! But Dancing is!
Enjoyed & thanks for sharing..
Good parody.
