If my essay has offended
Think but this and all is mended
You have almost finished here
Then this page can dissappear
Then my weak and idle theme
Can be replaced by a dream
Gentles, do not reprehend
Please, accept what I do send
And, as I am for a ryhme stuck
If I have some unearned luck
Now to 'scape rejection's song
You will find your choice not wrong
Else to me a liar call
So good night unto you all.
Give me your vote, if we be friends
And, 'ceptance will restore amends.
This is based on Shakespeare.
The very last speech in _A MidSummer Night's Dream_, given by Puck, is my favorite Shakespeare quote.
I love the way it sounds. So I based this poem on it.
