A bit of Shakespeare

Shakespeare
He would not eat a doner, but he loves marmite.

I think if Shakespeare would have been around now he may have written something like this…

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
Let us have kebab with lettuce and tomato for our tea,
But not the elephant leg type, that is not for me.

Elsewhere in another sonnet he waxes lyrical about marmite…

But wherefore do not you a marmitier way
Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?

In this quote I think Shakespeare is suggestin marmite consumption can keep you looking young.
