Shakespearean Escort Service

A Silly Single Sentence Sonnette
By Izzy Sommers, MD

The Shakespeare that was known to everyone
Was also known to count to twenty-one
When he was with Louisa Alder, Ton
O’ Laughs proprietor of Hamilton,
Who cornered younger women in the night,
Enrolling them in Trader’s Cove, alright,
The Den of Hospitality, on sight,
For purposes of lucrative and light
Escorting of the single men and men
Of open marriages who wanted ten
Or twelve experiences to attend
Societies at play in Sophie’s Den,
Where poetry was sung by minstrels of
The Art of Turtle Dove and Birdie Love.
