The Hamlet Project

This sentence doesn’t make much sense, Horatio.
Is he saying that what they just saw
Tested the hypothesis he just stated?
Sure is a funny way to say that, Horatio.
Are you a lawyer? Are you a scientist?
Well – you are an academic –
Maybe you get used to arcane syntax and using more words
Than necessary.
This present object? Are you referring to
The ghost?
Is he the present object?
Or the rooster?
Maybe I’m a little slow
But it seems like a funny time
To start talking like a lawyer.
Upon the disappearance of a ghost
That I didn’t believe in a few minutes ago,
I’m pretty sure I’d be pulling out the vowels
The Oh
The Wow
The Wha?
“And of the truth herein, this present object made probation?”
Come on.
