Romeo the Roo


 Meet Romeo.
   Romeo is looking for his Juliet.
    But he is looking in ALL THE WRONG places.
   Because, he seems to be a bit confused about who he is.....exactly.

   Romeo is hanging out with the wrong crowd, they make him do things that he   doesn't feel quite comfortable with------ Like messing about in all that mud,
 singing in the rain,
 partying into the wee hours of the night.....in the cattails.

     When the gang is splashing in the pond, Romeo stares wistfully from the bank, wondering why he can't swim. And, IF he could swim, why  he would even WANT to.
  And just a couple hundred yards away, prettily playing "ring around the rosy", are all these lovely unattached honeys....just waiting for their very own  Romeo.

                                 but they are looking in
 ALL THE WRONG 
places.
 
GOOD GRIEF!
How will it all end? I bet William Shakespeare would know.

  4. Romeo is confused, poor boy. Well, better confused than aggressive. You should make a Wacky Cake. It is super easy and good. Thanks for the birthday wishes.

  10. Jeri, what a cute post! There is hope, however... we had a female mallard duck named Pete, who thought she was a goat. She did eventually find herself, though, and took up with a very dashing wild male mallard. And flew the coop!
