Romeo Romeo

‘Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?’ 
(Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene 2)



Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?

          Juliet, it is so cold when we perform this sweet tableau
          so, twixt my legs, just a tiny icicle does grow.

Is it she you call sweet Rose that saps the strength from my sweet beaux?
That you wilt leave me so unsatisfied and not your gift bestow?

           Thus, each night, you have such words which you dost nag and crow
           and with them, it is that makes my manhood fail to show.

I Once gazed my wond’ring eyes upon your bulging codpiece so
Yet now, not so, again I ask; Wherefore art thou Romeo?

         Oh my sweet Juliet, I am indeed in deepest woe;
         this night, Friar Laurence, with my blue potion failed to show.

Congrats Terry. Very humorous as always. Enjoyed reading all the subtle allusions to Romeo and Juliet and olden day solutions for impotence. SuZ

Congrats Terry on your placement in my contest. As a pharmacist I got a laugh out of the icicle and blue potion
