Juliet is a gummy bear

You know, I see Shakespeare and sometimes even Poe quotes posted either on my dorm room door's whiteboard or somewhere on facebook. There was at least one time where I had to exert some serious self-control not to respond with a parody of the following line.

Where am I finding these parodies?

Well, I don't go looking for them, definitely. But Nancy Drew has some computer games that deal with Edgar Allen Poe and William Shakespeare.

Nancy Drew: Warnings at Waverly Academy has Poe, although I don't remember if if had any parodies. "The Telltale Heart" kind of just makes fun of itself, in my opinion. o_O (I apologize to those of you who enjoy that type of story.) Nancy Drew: The Deadly Device had a Gummy Theater, in which one of the characters acted out short skits with gummy bears on sticks (or straws).

Honestly, at the moment, the only parody I can remember is this: "But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is a gummy bear."

I'm probably not the most reverent person when it comes to this type of stuff. Maybe my problem is I haven't read any of their works that are actually good. I've been told Shakespeare has comedies, so they end with a happily ever after; but for some reason all the high schools feel like his tragedies with everyone dying and no one being happy are the best of the best. The same person who told me about Shakespeare's comedies is also in love with Poe's works.

Should I trust her? Should I go out in search of Shakespeare comedies and something a little more sane from Poe? Or should I just stick with my contemporary fairytale retellings and authors I know deliver the happy endings each time?
