Shakespeare’s sister Joan

Heretofore unknown

A stranger to renown

Shakespeare’s sister Joan

  

Your brother wrote some stuff

Enough to make one blush

How does one compete with 

such a ringer?

You may have done a sonnet

A couplet of your own

But times would not allow you to

Shakespeare’s sister Joan

 

After Willy died

You were on your own

Watching from the wings of the 

theatre

Shakespeare’s sister Joan

Shakespeare’s sister Joan

Your brother wrote some stuff

Enough to make one blush

How does one compete with such a ringer?

You may have done a sonnet

A play about King John

But times would not allow you to

Shakespeare’s sister Joan

 

Heretofore unknown

No fault of your own

A stranger to renown

Shakespeare’s sister Joan
