We are delighted to feature this humorous take off on Hamlet's famous To Be or Not To Be speech, by writer Jane M. Handel.
SOLILOQUY
by Jane M. Handel (with apologies to W Shakespeare)
To be … old or not to be … old, that is the question
Whether tis nobler to stick around longer even if you’ve lost the plot
To carry on battling with your arm in a sling or the wheelchair of outrageous agedness
Or to throw in the towel, give-up and bugger off.
To die, to sleep. To be no more
And by this sleep end the fear of heart attack and the thousand bumps and shocks that wrinkled flesh is prone to. It is a very tempting quick fix
To die, to sleep, To sleep, perchance to dream – oh shit – there’s the rub
