Rose Revises Shakespeare

There once was a woman named Rose McDocks

Who smelled as sweet as a daisy

But Rose wasn’t fond of the name she had

She wanted to be called Maisy


So she told her friends, “I’m no longer Rose.

From now on I’m Maisy McDocks.”

But then for no logical reason at all

She started to smell like old socks


She showered and scrubbed the whole day through

She shampooed and conditioned her hair

But she still smelled of socks, and she blamed her new name

So she changed it from Maisy to Claire


As Claire her stench was even worse

For although she wore clean clothes

She smelled exactly like the fungus

That grows between athletes’ toes


So she gave up trying to change her name

And sure enough, smelled fresh and sweet

And that’s 'cause a Rose by any other name

Would smell as feet
