These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Tailgater: "Stand-Up Shakespeare"

"Parting is such sweet sorrow."
Hairless he may see 'morrow.

"But, soft, what light through yonder window breaks?"
A lantern in a flying fit it takes.

"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"
Gone homeo, homeo. Thy fam'ly 'bides homeo.

"That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet."
O, thorny life, thy perfume so light with its ending pointed treat.

"Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man."
A lying down comedian no encore takes by plan.

"Lord, what fools these mortals be!"
See the Truth or blind, don't see.
