Moses and Romeo... an Odd Crunching of Themes for my 100th Post

Oh wherefore art you?
Your erroneously supposed roses of toes-es
Are actually misnomer-ed poses of noses
Romeo, Oh Romeo, Oh Romeo
ain’t true.
I just mean that you smell what you think to be roses
When your nose is mis-smelling the stench of your toes-es.
His aspect’s too Roman:
it’s long, skinny strong –
And while you're mis-smelling you're misleading the children...
What Children? Jacob's plentiful progeny of course.
Altogether unbefitting
Any robust lover and
So for decades or was it just days that they wandered
Either way it was due to your nose that got worse
How could Juliet prefer
you to Paris: that more
As the sand in the desert changed existing mis-smelling
It also filled shoes and toes and was therefore stench-quelling
French style of a man
who was named after a capital
And in the end, made everything else smell just like it.
So your bad sense of smell didn't matter a bit.
That may or may not
have been better
than Rome (eo).
But at least he could tell
a good from a bad smell
With his nose that smelled roses
And then it smelled toes-es
(Her toes-es scared his nose so badly
It didn't want to be around
Juliet anyway). So why are
you Romeo and not Paris-o?
Or Athens-o or Boston-o?
I think that is
the real question here.
