I’ve read this script before,
I know how the play ends,
Not a happily ever after I must admit,
The tale turns into a nightmare,
In the end, the girl always leaves,
A girl got to eat and poor me lacks those precious leaves,
But here I am with my broken heart,
Like a fool, I will fall for that pretty face,
Telling a tiny waist no, Is a thing I’m yet to do,
Probably I will someday though not today,
For a man got to eat from a flat plate,
And your tummy happens to be the best place
My heart pleads with me not to be a victim,
Your reputation of humbling kings precedes you,
But I’m no son of a king,
Like the lightning, I happen in a flash,
No noise will be heard,
But there’s a pillow that will be wet
Fortunately for me, I don’t own one
