The poem
Said Jock McBrown to Tam McSmith, "A little bet I'm game to take on, That I can scotch this Shakespeare myth And prove Will just a stoodge for Bacon."
Said Tam McSmith to Jock McBrown, "Ye gyke, I canna let ye rave on. See here, I put a shilling down: My betting's on the Bard of Avon."
Said Jock McBrown to Tam McSmith, "Come on, ye'll pay a braw wee dramlet; Bacon's my bet - the proof herewith . . . He called his greatest hero - HAMlet."
