I haven't read Hamlet or A A Milne for several decades, so will have to refresh my memory before I attempt this one. The more erudite among you won't need to do that, of course!

COMPETITION NO 167
by Tessa Castro
After a spree at prose in No 166, it’s back to dear verse. My friend Oliver Bernard, who died some weeks ago, compared himself in
The Oldie to Hamlet – and to Piglet from the Pooh books. So a verse dialogue between Hamlet and Piglet, please. Maximum 16 lines.
