Collaborating With Shakespeare

COLLABORATING WITH SHAKESPEARE O Romeo, ahh...Juliet - a pair. These youths, so fair of face, in love, despair. Though years would teach a major change of thought. Dear Juliet would murder him whose caught. Then he’d but be a Romeo, forspent by blond and brunette hairs — not worth four cents. Spare the old boy his years? Now don’t you quit! Put down the potion, dear — love’s not worth it. 6/14/2019

Your collaboration with Shakespeare worked out beautifully - Poor young couple - too young to die, and too in love to live without each other! But I enjoyed your ending! Hugs, Jennifer.
