Alas, it is the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death,
and it seemed but right for us to trot along
to The Globe Theatre we must, our tribute pay
Along with hoomans who left roses at the gate
We snuck inside for a photo op
As in Shakespeare’s lack of love for dogs
We were not welcomed on the premises.
So we scooted off the grounds
To listen to instruments being played on a nearby street
Then wandered off away from the “Shakespearean” crowd –
We crossed the Thames on the Millennium Bridge 
Where we returned to more “modern” times …
Where the street musicians wear skirts
And blow into a bag making a racket of sounds!
May’s comment: Shakespeare wrote plays more than 400 years ago but the playwrights most powerful quotes are still very much relevant today.
And for a more recent occasion, this holds true …
