I'm tired of writing in the old time rhyme that's not worth a dime anymore
I hate working through the archaic and the old old english
How 'bout we write about something that everyone will understand and everyone will listen to?
I'm tired of writing rants about world peace and why there's no love in the world
so i use a pencil, some paper, and the thoughts that the Lord gave me from above.
i ain't got not time for old time rhyme
that's not worth a dime
I'm tired of tearing my mind apart over
shakespeare's plays, that there just ain't no way
I've had enough of the old time rhyme
That i keep reading all the time.
What are the english teachers thinking?
Why arent we reading powerful peices that'll send your hearts sinking?
Like the beautiful verses
that my friends write, how 'bout we share those and read 'em all night?
Then we'll be reading the good stuff
and we'll never get enough
we'll forget about the old time rhyme
that nobody writes anymore
We got to write down words that mean the world
Touching the hearts with the things we all adore
my friends and i always write the good stuff
That people can't get enough of, we are the new shakespeare
We're tired of the old time rhyme
It's time for a New Shakespeare, We are the New Shakespeare
Every one to their own, but I think shakespeare grows on you when you get older, used to send me to sleep when I was younger.. Andrew
i dont mean to be mean or anything, but its kinda boring! i mean its good! but i think it could be a little better! again im only trying to help ya out! dont take any critizism personally! especially from me! like c.p sharma said you're an awesome spirit! i really do get where you are coming from too in this peice! but...meh....i would really crit it and all, but my kids are crying<3
yeah i too don't really understand that old english and archaic language time to change as you say excellent work
I was really feelin' this poem! I look forward to reading more of your stuff. We have to get a braintrust going!
hi lost princess this is a great write and i think you'll go places with this kind of thought hovering in your mind sometimes i too wonder what my teachers are thinking? you know. why they on't teach our witty pieces in schools any way NEW SHAKESPEARE huh count me in.
I write to write. Don't and would never dare compare myself to Shakespear. I was going to write a long piece here but I happened to read what C.P. Sharma wrote and feel my words were expressed exactly. With age and wisdom you will see how the old time rhyme is really NOT worth a dime, but a fortune.

I don't know what English teachers in the States do, but in the mother country they generally teach a range of periods and writers. Are they truly so out of touch? It's a pity, though, that they don't concentrate a bit more on punctuation. 'Why do you study English anyway? Most of you will never go to England.' (c) H Simpson.
