William Shaw

#TheMightyDead

Had Charles Dickens been
Alive today, he’d have made
A great YouTuber.

Jane Austen, had she
Ever seen a keyboard, would
Be Queen of Twitter.

George Herbert would make
Instagram poetry, with
#aesthetic.

Blake and Milton would
Sustain an awkward bromance
Through tender Snapchats.

A network of wit
And brilliance obscured by
Shakespeare’s shitposting.
