A Friend Like . . . Him!

Hello, Cricket lovers! My name’s Juliet,
And my friend is the best friend I’ve ever met!
Even though he’s a Montague, he has a nice voice,
Or maybe I just have this thing about boys.

In Dad’s eyes, his family’s a zillion louses.
I disagree. (Prob’ly since we are now spouses.)
But Dad wants me married to a different man,
So I went to Friar Lawrence. He had a nice plan.

Now I’m writing in bed, a drug in my hand.
Everything’s going quite well as planned.
Romeo’s a friend I’ll never forget.
Nothing bad has ever happened to us . . .
Yet.
