A Tragedy
"Modern Tragedy" -©Everett L. Davis 2017
A strikingly handsome young Romeo was captivated by the amazing beauty of Juliet.
He cautiously watched for other potential suitors then gathered the courage to invite her to dinner in the most exclusive restaurant in London.
Each day was filled with anticipation until the day arrived.
The Limo arrived at her home and he quickly traversed the steps to her door just as she opened it appearing in a slender and stylish gown worthy of the queens court.
They arrived at the restaurant and he couldn't remember the journey as he was entranced by her beauty.
Course after course of the finest and most delicious food came in what seemed a never ending stream of wonderment.
As the evening came to an end the modern day tragedy became quite evident.
Not understanding that this beautiful and slender goddess before him was a competition eater, the realization soon came that Romeo'd for what Juliet.

PLEASE!
But if it is any consolation on this fine Labor Day, it was a labor of love creating that diversion.
Blessings everyone.
I pray your day was filled with great new memories in the presence of friends and family.

Re: A Tragedy
Well, thanks for your labor. I love moaners and groaners.
The weekend was spent with family. Good eats, good fun.
Hope everyone had a great weekend, as well.

Re: A Tragedy
James,
Ok.
Expensive restaurant
Competitive eater who downs volumes of high dollar food
The bill came.
Romeo 'owed' for all that Juliet ate.
Tragedy, his wallet was woefully overwhelmed.

Re: A Tragedy
OK Rome owed what Julie et. Et is colloquialism for ate.
I think I am groaning loudest!
