They All Want To Play Hamlet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHA| They all want to play Hamlet | A |
| They have not exactly seen their fathers killed | B |
| Nor their mothers in a frame up to kill | C |
| Nor an Ophelia lying with dust gagging the heart | D |
| Not exactly the spinning circles of singing golden spiders | E |
| Not exactly this have they got at nor the meaning of flowers O flowers flowers slung by a dancing girl in the saddest play the inkfish Shakespeare ever wrote | F |
| Yet they all want to play Hamlet because it is sad like all actors are sad and to stand by an open grave with a joker's skull in the hand and then to say over slow and over slow wise keen beautiful words asking the heart that's breaking breaking | G |
| This is something that calls and calls to their blood | H |
| They are acting when they talk about it and they know it is acting to be particular about it and yet They all want to play Hamlet | A |
