Julia acknowledges that we may take the ‘left field’ with her prompt this week so I saw this as a double edged challenge.

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.
This was really nicely done! It made me laugh too. Wonder how many other people will set theirs during the time of the Bard?
Holy Catfish. This is SPENDID! Awesome and imaginative. I’m impressed! Shakespeare will roll over…
Ooops! I mean SPLENDID!
Very well done. I don’t think I’d even have thought to do one similar.
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!!!
Fabulous Gilly 😆
Excellent, my friend 🙂
