The Romantic Age   

 This one is entering her teens,  
 Ripe for sentimental scenes,  
 Has picked a gangling unripe male,  
 Sees herself in a bridal veil,  
 Presses lips and tosses head,  
 Declares she's not too young to wed,  
 Informs you pertly you forget  
 Romeo and Juliet.  
 Do not argue, do not shout;  
 Remind her how that one turned out.
