Verse and worse

Because her brain was affected (by weevil)
Lady Macbeth never thought she was evil
She thought it her duty, as a nobleman's wife
To know how to use a sharp stabbing knife

  3. The weevil diagnosis is probably true
    Of many a person known not just by you.

    (In a hurry today! As usual, the poem cracked me up! Its the first thing I look at when I get up)

  5. But Lady Macbeth got in a huff
    She wanted her hubby, a friend of MacDuff
    To be a King as the witches said
    But first a few people must be dead
    So she got out her dagger and did her stuff.

  8. Artist Unplugged - you're right, maybe there is a side to her that Shakespeare never told us about!

  9. Yes, Kay, and she must have had a very "sharp" sense of humour!
