Revenge

This is based the Merchant of Venice by Edward Allan Poe

Shylock the wronged

The victim in it all

Insulted

For his red cap

And being

A lender of money

With interest

Fast forward to the day

Bassanio came

Asking for 3,000 ducats

Yet it's not he that would pay

But rather Antonio

His friend

Shylock agrees

But just one final thing

One pound of flesh

Nearest the heart

If the money is not repaid

Shylock hopes for no money

For he would like to see

Antonio dead

For he had spit and called him a dog

And hates him and his kind

with a passion

Fast forward again

Antonio's ships are sunk

And the money

10,000 leagues under the sea

To court they must go

But Antonio knows

Dead he will be

Shylock demands

The Duke says oh man

Flesh is Shylock's form of revenge
