Othello

Othello was a handsome Moor.

He served the Doge of Venice.

Iago was his bosom pal –

Though actually a menace.

Desdemona was the gal

Othello slyly married.

Her father, when he heard the news,

Unconscious out was carried.

Iago didn't like the way

Othello ran the army.

He planted seeds of doubt

Until Othello went quite barmy.

Iago made Othello think

His wife was playing hooky,

And so his reason crumbled

Like a stale & ill-baked cookie.

Othello finished off his wife,

Then found he'd been mistaken.

He tried to fight the coppers off

But couldn't save his bacon.

The world is full of people who

Profess to be quite loyal,

who want to see their betters

in a pot that's set to boil.

So when there's someone telling you

They'll stick with you til death –

Just tell them you're not buying it

And they can save their breath.
