Roneo and Juliet

My brother was running around reciting this poem left and right the other day. I was introduced to it by a foxy English teacher. It's so adorable.

Roneo and Juliet

We met in the

Xerox copy shop,

each looking for enlargements.

Her face

was my type

and I hoped she might

duplicate

my feelings,

but while I had it down

in black and white

it soon became transparent

she brought only

a handful of negatives,

so seeing

there could be no

developments

I left,

wondering if

some day her

prints would come

prints would come

prints would come

prints would come.
