Heroine Clarise:
The medieval English hills are alive with the sound of muzak
With plot devices they have plotted for a thousand times
I fill my heart with inane, thought-free maternal instincts
I have no life, I just wanna heal every freaking critters I findMy heart wants to beat in the tradition of vapid heroines
Because I’ve met my hero
A scary man everyone says has killed everybody he knows
But I know my man is pure and righteous
Because he has a son for me to mother
Everyone knows in romance novels that only the righteous
Are fertile enough to knock up my holy-moly womby!I go to my hero when he wants some pity shaggy
And I know it’s okay because I’m a virtuous heroine true and worthy
My heart will be blessed even if he steps on me silly
Because I’m a virtuous caregiver!
