SHAKESPEARE IN HEAVEN

Shakespeare travels to his plays

You would if you were he

He gets there at the speed of sound

All done invisibly

2

Except sometimes he has a date

Then chosen bodies show

And they share telepathically

And how those comments flow

3

They laugh at the Oxfordians

And other intellects

Perched high at performances of

Romeo and Juliet

4

When asked about these little trips

He says they’re infrequent

They can become a ruddy bore

But he is glad he went

5

Does he create still in Heaven

For fun For fun says he

I have a growing trove of them

And friends who act with me

6

Heaven is very close to earth

And people don’t change much

Most do what they’ve always done

Secure in Heaven’s love
