a short song about that one time when Hamlet indirectly killed two guys but it was totally ok because everything’s ok in Shakespeare plays

(To the tune of the chorus of Freeze Your Brain)

Of all the things Claudius did, nothing will ever be more relatable then that time when he straight up walked out of a play he didn’t like. 

I too would like the confidence to just get up and leave when something I don’t like is happening. Oh, are we having a math test? Sorry, I don’t like that *literally just gets up and leaves*

This meme format really works for almost any Shakespeare play
