Baptista's Two Daughters
There is a wealthy merchant living in Padua.
He goes by the name of Baptista.
His daughters are Catherine and Bianca.
Younger Bianca has suitors standing in line.
Bianca is a pleasant woman men consider fine.
Older Catherine is not as sweet as she.
Catherine is quite irascible and unruly.
Baptista wants Catherine to be the first to marry.
No man was brave enough to give it a go;
until someone came along named Petruchio.
Based on the play "The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare
