Shakericks - Richard III

A Duke with a back, bent and bony

Was crowned due to bunk and baloney;

He’d pushed past both his brothers

His nephews and others

But lost it for want of a pony!

Limerick Pentameter

A prolific young playwright called Will

Gave Elizabethans their fill

Of murder and bloodshed

And conquest of maidenhead

By constantly dipping his quill!

(Come on! Be honest!)
