Once upon a time
Pocono was sippin'
a root beer float
when in walked Miss Kitty.

His heart began to pound...
His tongue got tied...
His palms got sweaty...

Miss Kitty was oblivious
and sat down next
to him to have
a long island iced tea...

Her voice was soft as velvet.
Her eyes were alluring as sugar.
Her laughter was enticing as cherries.

Slowly, Pocono started to chatter
like a low hum before
he started to get
his flirt on.

Miss Kitty began to purr...
Her words were a caress...
Her blush was beautiful...

Chemistry sparked.
Interest flared.
Lips entwined.

When suddenly in
walked his ex-g/f
roaring with jealousy.

Miss Kitty got scared.
Rapunzel threw a beer bottle at her
and Miss Kitty fled away.

Pocono wasn't happy.
His feelings for her were gone.
He only wanted to be with Miss Kitty,
but with Rapunzel there
it wasn't happening.

So, out came an arrow
he stole from Cupid
and he hit Miss Kitty
in her cute booty,
and took out a stashed
bag of fairy-dust
to make her a
butterfly to find
peace within herself.

Pocono was happy at first,
but it began to plague him
that her love wasn't sincere,
but merely a spell.

He found an antidote
to save her,
but the damage was done.

Miss Kitty went on
to date Shaggy
while Pocono became
a broken puppet.
