[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I LOVE IT. But, a minor critism, "Lord Hamlet on the Thames" is weak. It was Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, in Helsingør (Elsingnore). Could we tweak it a little?

So right and wrong are nuanced and I have my hems and haws,
I'm tormented by my doubts, like Hamlet outside of Elsingnore.

Chorus: He's tormented by his doubts, like Hamlet outside of Elsingnore.

or

So right and wrong are nuanced and I've reservations still
I'm tormented by my doubts, Prince Hamlet of Beacon Hill.

Chorus: He's tormented by his doubts, Prince Hamlet of Beacon Hill.

Lonesome "brimming with with cheerful news about the square of the hypothenuse" in Massachussets. -

Lord Hamlet probably should be Prince Hamlet. It was pretty late at night. But the Globe Theater was in London, not Denmark.

You will have to pry the rhyme of hems and Thames out of my cold dead typewriter fingers.
