When the Beasty was young
parents took Gret aside
showed her the beauty
mixed knowledge and pride
said if you are careful
our Beasty to ride
she'll love you and serve you
but Gret's parents lied
Seems Beasty was hungry
but always well fed
so thousands adored her
from doorway to shed
they'd pet from stone benches
she'd follow where led
Gret thought it was tame
it was hungry instead
One day parents left
to never return
and Beasty stayed still
missing love that was earned
then let out a roar
for appetite spurned
the Beasty was wild
and not our concern
Years later I heard
Gret looked for that beast
gathered plump juicy tasties
and set out a feast
found doorway and shed
on a path made her peace
such a beautiful creature -
WATCH YOUR BACK AT LEAST
