Beast Meets True Love


Here she is within my grasp

I think it’s impossible

But maybe I can win her affection

I’m not sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve danced

I don’t understand why she’s here

Why you care about a fur ball beast

This is it, I’m happy

Right now, I don’t care about magic

I don’t care about magic

I thought I didn’t care

Nothing happened

What what what why and what

Try again

Nothing

Ouch

Oh, I’m sorry I don’t know what came over me

Gosh, men really are beast

 

Do not be impatient

Love is easy

Marriage is not

 

Belle, my sweet, I’m home

What? The shower drain is clogged up?

I’m sorry how inconsiderate of me

What? You want me to wash the dishes?

What? The laundry needs to be color coded?

What? You don’t want to share the same tooth brush anymore?

What? There’s a spider in the living room?

The air conditioner is broken?

Your make up cost how much?

You’re wearing makeup right now?

Sharon did what to who because who did what?

 

I’ll start shaving so that I don’t clog the drain

I’ll start washing my own dishes

I’ll start color coating the laundry

I’ll stop brushing my teeth and give you the toothbrush

I’ll start brushing my teeth and get my own toothbrush

I’ll put the spider outside

I’ll buy a new air conditioner

I’ll spend two hours in the mall with you and buy you some make up

Three hours

Five

I never liked Sharon Anyways

 

What? You’re pregnant? A Girl?

Twins?

 

They’re beautiful

 

What’s happening?

 

What?

 

I forgot how my face looked
