While outside nor'easter
howls like banshees
vents temperature dips
into low double digits
fire breathing friendly
dragon (cue Barney

But an angry suitor she had rebuked
And mockingly called him a messed up...

Smiling, it squirts its juices, 
delighting in matchmaking,
just like Cupid, whose misaimed arrow, 
it recalls, once struck it.

Lucentio and Bianca:
a happy match;
they owe much to it, it knows.
Lysander and Hermia;
Demetrius and Helena…

Man meets Woman
Saw each other as just another commuter
Average straphangers
They weren’t expecting romance
Subway ride through the love tunnel

"She's so hot and smart. You'll  just love her
BUT
her last boyfriend took out a restraining order."
"She graduated...
