We set the scene
In Verona, it’s the 14th century
The Capulets and Montagues
Tension ‘crease exponentially
Capulets throw a masquerade
Both of Romeo’s friends
Decide to try and get him laid
To get over his old girlfriend
Now Romeo meets Juliet
Right when they lock eyes
They might as well be newlyweds
All of the sparks fly
Romeo a Montague
And Juliet a Capulеt
Not ’til later did they figure
Thеy seemed a bit familiar
Juliet was spittin’ her love
Romeo down below
Moon shining above
Yet she didn’t know
Oh man are they blessed
With this hex
Can I address
Romeo is wholly vexed
So utterly perplexed!
Now a wedding of enemies
A beheading without penalties
Go and sing your threnodies!
Your friends blessed under geneses
Served with banishment
My anger I can’t manage it
Ever growing distance
Never slowing inconvenience
Now hurry up and go
Consent to this marriage
And all will be bestowed
As a prince in a carriage
Take a sip of the poison
Alone go to bed
When morning comes around
To the nurse you’ll seem dead
You will awake in a tomb
Might go insane time will tell
But by then you’ll see your groom
When you awake all will be well
Your knight in shining armor
He’ll come to your rescue
And bring you to Mantua
And forever love you
A letter was sent
Yet Romeo did not receive
Its arrival overdue
So Romeo was deceived
Thought his wifey dead
No hope for any good notion
So he went to the ‘cary
And bought an odious potion
He ventured to her tomb
And saw a straggling soul
They ended up fighting
With his death paid the toll
He scrambled to her side
And found her lying dead
He took a sip of the potion
And he too wound up dead
Juliet wakes up
Only really in slumber
Finds her lover gone
Takes her life with his dagger
Story comes to an end
Everyone is involved
The Friar confessed about
How this all resolved
The nurse is not so innocent
She too played a role
She aided in the marriage
Guilt will stay in her soul
Capulet and Montague
Finally resolve their feud
Grudge goes not to mutiny
But relationship renewed
