What's left in reimagining our Hamlets,  
repurposing our Henrys and Macbeths?  
Pose existential questions over omelets?  
Recounting much ado's with bated breaths?  
Shall we attempt a tragedy of errors?  
Leer, merciless, while driving by a wreck?  
Rely on ne'er-do-wells and oversharers  
to get the word out, use the latest tech?  
The classics, reimagined as you like it,  
performed by a menagerie of clowns,  
and if a word offends, well then, you strike it,  
it's not as if they're wearing real crowns,  
these thespians, too modern for the Bard.  
To be or not to be. It's not that hard.
