Street brawl- Capulets and Montagues
Prince of Verona butts in, glass jaw
Count de Parasites is hot for Capulet’s
daughter who’s 13- hand that rocks the
cradle . . .
The daughter blow-flys-the coop- gives the
old perv the slip; enter stage left Romeo
oh Romeo, wherefore art thou (that’s the
way they conversed back then); head over
heels . . .
Capulet’s daughter and Romeo do the balcony
scene- “You are the sun, blah, blah, blah”
“Here’s the ring, let’s get hitched;” Friar
Laurence smoothes things out with the two
families . . .
In her chambers later on, consummate their
love- “Oh baby!” Capulet’s daughter takes a
drug that lasts 42 hours unbeknownst to Romeo
She is laid out in the family crypt; he buys
poison . . .
Was a placebo- she thinks he’s dead (oh, boy)
Shivs herself, he takes the rap; goes up the
proverbial river; new prison stripes at Joliet
Gets life; put in solitary; Moral: “Shiv and
learn . . .”

Kate's right, this is a 'sassy spin' delivered with panache. Another cloudy morning (but no rain unfortunately) in Singapore but you've just cleared the sky. Thank you.

endings of death in the young
forsaken by the eyes of an elder
like rockin the hand on that cradles song
we should never mind where that all came from
but learn we shall indeed
