The Oracle went out to see his first Shakespearean play
He purchased tickets for the special Wednesday matinee
He had a friend, an actor, who was carrying a spear
In this production of the Bard’s smash hit called Olde King Lear
The Oracle went right backstage where most folks never go
And saw his friend was happy that he’d come to see the show
But oracles just should not say things like “Go and break a leg.”
Because in the first act his friend did, and King Lear laid an egg!
