Romeo & Juliet Go WestThe Story of Ramona & Joel
The meeting of Ramona Mae and Joel occurred by chance, But now the love-struck kids are in perilous romance. The feud between their daddies is the obstacle they face. Montgomery’s the rock, and Old Man Cabot—he’s the hard place. Then Father Lawrence catches wise ‘cause Romie lets it slip. Reluctantly, he promises to help the budding courtship. When Joel confides in Tita, she resolves to set him straight. (Unwittingly, she only brings him closer to his mate.) His mother, on the other hand, has someone else in mind; Miss Paris is a debutant, the highfalutin’ kind. Ramona’s cousin Ben is someone wise beyond his age, But wisdom is a scarcity once Herman takes the stage. When crazy Herman steals a horse, Ramona gets the blame. It’s up to Joel to save the day and clear his sweetheart’s name. Some potent pollen conks him out. Ramona is the cure. She almost wakes him up, but then the pollen gets to her. And so the tragic story ends, but don’t you be misled… The way this version ends would turn the Bard a shade of red. |
