Professor Popinjay's Compendium of Perspicacity

A Poetic Non-review by Prof. Popinjay

‘’Twas with great merriment I hath viewed this play.

The players did play it so well.

Washington, Thompson and Branagh portray

roles assumed or lived, I can’t tell.

A villain there was in Keanu, I see.

Though why him, I must inquire.

A lowly position was this for he

The part could have been played by a squire.

Lo when the Bard writes and parts must be played,

these parts are snatched up by all in the trade.

Michael Keaton was insane, His fart jokes, a riot

Me thinks the ghost with the most did alight.

If you fancy Shakespeare, I prithee, do try it

This version is more than alright.

If Ol’ Willy’s not for thee and you can’t comprehend

Then watch your Pirates part Three

Or perhaps if it pleases, I might recommend

One in a pineapple under the sea.

In parting I must querry with my final breath,

Why do clergy so oft suggest feigning death?
