Notes About The Poem

Much Ado About Something

“Much Ado About Nothing” 

Romeo’s love doesn’t fall through, 
As Tybalt piques his fancy too. 
And Juliet, 
Not in love yet 
Chills out on Tinder and Temu. 

William, don’t mind the premise pick, 
The rhymes have moved on so to speak;
Short and lightweight -
It’s shooting straight, 
Not a sonnet, a limerick. 

No tragic twists, no tricksy lies, 
No fam’ly feuds to dramatize. 
It might be viewed 
Vulgar and lewd - 
But no one kills and no one dies!
