The happy couple


Long ago in the country Merry land

There lived all merry people and

A couple young, sweet and fair

“Here they come!” “Oh! Love’s in air!”

Everyone adored this sight

For they never had a fight

And always stayed, close to each other

“Such a pair-won’t find, anywhere another”

And a man called Shakespeare

Cried in joy, “Listen, my dears,

Romeo and Juliet, I wrote

Celebrating (sniffed), you both”

He was always inches to her

With curiosity, public taunted, “Sir

We all want to know better

The secret of you both together.”

“Ho! It is not love that keeps us close”

Husband replied carelessly.

“But she’s soft-spoken, has a voice so low

You can’t hear her otherwise, trust me”
