William Shakespeare's The Tempest
Now, sit right back and you'll hear a tale
Of a Rennaisance power trip
That starts off with the Milan Court
Aboard some leaky ship.
They banished Prospero years before
And sullied themselves with crime;
But the Duke of M's learned a magic act,
And now it's payback time,
And now it's payback time!
The weather then starts getting rough
(That's the "Tempest," don't you know);
With special effects by the potent art
Of the protean Prospero.
Their ship sets ground on the shore of his
Exotic isle exile
With Caliban....
Gonzalo, too...
Alonso and his son......
Trinculo.....
Miranda and Ariel - here on Prospero's Island!
Now, Ariel the airy sprite
Will do his very best
To confound the co-conspirators,
While Miranda and Fred play chess.
No death! No gore! No severed heads!
Not a single fatality!
Like Cymbeline or Winter's Tale,
It's redemptive as can be.
And then at the end a staff gets broke,
And it's back to Milan they go;
And here's the message of our play:
"Live Long and Prospero!"
