Beauty and the Beast
Patricia Rogers

There once was a T.V. programme,

Called Beauty and the Beast,

The people who brought it to us,

Surely gave us a feast.

It was a tale of mismatched love,

Down Below, and up Above.

Though their love was chaste and pure,

It was a love that would endure.

In the beginning their feelings were just fond,

But they were inextricably linked by a Bond.

Though they shed many tears, 
And shared rare laughter,

Could they truly live

“Happily ever After?”
