Note that the Shakespeare quote in the beginning is an example of antimetabole, not a pun.

Any joke that takes five screens of text to explain is not the least bit funny

Polish poet Sep-Szarzyński was an absolute master of this. Of course it helps that word order in Slavic languages is flexible, yet still. Hos poems are mind-boggling, to the point of being incomprehensible, yet completely gramatically correct.

Not funny and not a pun. Also, as someone else also pointed out, the Shakespearean “pun” is not even a pun. So, you know, makes for an awkward read when the author proves in the first few lines of the text that they know next to nothing about what they are talking about.
