Star-Crossed Lovers

[My interpretation of the above phrase. An attempt to knock sense into people who think sun-signs can govern our lives more than we can. If you don’t like it, well, just blame it on the misalignment of stars while you were reading it:]

The boy, he was a pucca Leo,
A proud and handsome lion;
The girl happen’d to be a Scorpio,
A stunning scorpion.

When these two first met one day,
Sparks flew all around;
Cupid struck them both, but they
In dilemma themselves found:

The Scorpio loved the Leo boy,
But held it to her breast;
Not because the girl was coy,
Scorpios are self-possessed-

‘He should say how he does feel,
Before I tell him anything.’
For if she were first to reveal,
It would tame her Scorpion sting.

The Leo loved the Scorpio too,
But his feelings did he hide;
Not because he was fattoo,
Leos are full of pride-

‘I won’t ask her out, unless
I know how she feels inside.’
For if he did, and she said “Not yes”,
It would hurt his Leonine pride.

So, Leo, of Scorpio, is forlorn,
Scorpio, for Leo, pines;
How I wish these two were born
Under different Zodiac signs!

Your love life is (as one discovers)
Affected by astrology;
Why else, instead of perfect lovers,
Both should losers be?!
