According to South African research,
The Bard had help of herbal kind, indeed:
For some, his reputation’s been besmirched
By news his pipes were full of dank-ass weed.
Using technol’gy of the cutting edge,

In pipes found ‘round fair Shakespeare’s Avon hedge:
And found with cannabis they were infused.

That spurs “invention” in the mind’s tableau.
Who knows which plays he wrote while high as f***?

Make Crispin’s Day take place at Taco Bell!
