A strange Romeo and Juliet.... IN STATIONARY


Two pencilcases, both alike in artistry

In 1705 Verona Dr, where we lay our scnen

From old feuds spring cilvil disharmonies

Where civil pigment makes civil parchment unclean

From the ghastly packages of these two fiends

Two starcrossed lovers take their life

And though their story may seem obscene

It ends a century's worth of strrife

The dire presence of their blood-stained love

And the persistance of their parents' rage

Which could be ended only with a mourning dove

This is the story with which we set our stage

Now listen carefully and read our lips

What you miss here, we shall fix.
