Po-ettification

Bill the Bard, feeling vexed
Was having trouble with his text
In his labour of love he’d lost the plot
Love’s Labours Lost, methinks, or not?

Manners maketh man they say
But Kitchener’s had gone away
He needed volunteers of men
But how awfully rude to point at them!

Newton’s genius shocked the nation
With his law of universal gravitation
Questioned about it, Isaac said
“The idea simply came to my head.”

“Love is a serious mental disease”
Quoted from Plato (real name Aristocles)
But I wonder ‘Does it really matter?’
My loved ones know I’m mad as a hatter.
