The Lady Doth Protest Too Much
That name engraved across my mind
is of the phantasmic kind.
The one who seems to have carved it there
is one for whom I do not care.
It is not grounded in truth or fact.
It seems my thoughts have just been hacked.

I know that feeling, Judy, as if my thoughts have been hacked! I hope you can erase that phantasmic name as soon as possible.

Love the limerick. Ted Hughes called it foxes – how a thought can seemingly be thieved.
