Young William Poem by Shaun Cronick

Oh don't you dare tell me it's tough!
Oh don't you dare tell me it's rough!
You're the absolute cream of the crop!
Believe in yourself and stay on top!

Never be swayed by gossip mongers,
Their cheap false innuendos or many slurs.
You keep on writing the way you do,
And your plays will run and run for years.

For when it comes to magical writing,
You're so gifted and so clever.
And with that young William Shakespeare,
Your name will echo and live forever.
