Monologue # 16 In honor of World Poetry and World Puppetry Day

In honor of World Poetry and World Puppetry Day, I give you a controversial poem read by puppet Shakespeare.  It is thought that it may have been read by Shakespeare as an epilogue to As You Like It for a court performance on Shrove Tuesday in 1599.  It was discovered over 30 years ago on the back of an envelope in a notebook belonging to Henry Stanford who worked for The Lord Chamberlain who was in charge of court performances.
