Funny AC Bradley poem

I found this while looking for a bit of background info on Bradley at Wikipedia:
I dreamt last night that Shakespeare’s Ghost
Sat for a civil service post.
The English paper for that year
Had several questions on King Lear
Which Shakespeare answered very badly
Because he hadn’t read his Bradley.

(Hawkes, 1986 as cited in Taylor 2001: 40)
