Dr Hitesh Sheth - Two Ubiquitous Tragedies

Once Asylum was visited by a sage
And he saw two bonkers in a same cage.

And sage with a fazed face,
gazed in the oubliette
and heard both loonies
shouting, “Juliet”, “Juliet”.

And curious sage in a soft whimper
asked to a studious headshrinker:

“Why both have gone mad?
Why both appear sad?
Why one seems serious?
And other appears furious?

Headshrinker replied:
One Romeo failed to marry Juliet
Other’s marriage failed with Juliet.

And sage quipped:
There are two not three tragedies in a life
A life without a wife and life with a wife
