From the Balcony

Parting is such sweet sorrow. Must I utter those words whilst spittle oozes from that pustular mouth? How many times must I spy the rise in his hose and the curl in his leer? He is too long in the tooth to dally as Romeo, canst thou not see? Whilst I, still a mere slip of a boy, I can still appear as a maiden fair, fresh from her mother’s breast.

Good Master Shakespeare, hear my plea, rid me of this Roman. My friend, bring me instead your countryman, the bonny Marlowe, the beauteous serpent to assuage my sorrow. Make haste, on the morrow.

  1. Oh, Gilly, this is terrific!!! I agree with “Let’s Cut the Crap” — William Shakespeare would get a big kick out of this piece. It’s worthy of being performed onstage — and would undoubtedly bring down the house. Well done!!!

I would love to hear from you . . .
