Love’s True Kiss
Long awaited, a peck from the belle of the ball did nothing. The boar-man sighed abandoned.
The boar-maid cleaning up sheds a tear. Pressing snouts, they kiss.

“I’m sorry,” she says. “Our curse can’t be lifted.”
“Then let’s just be in love.”

He readied his sword. “My friend—”
“And my kingdom stands with me!”
The hills howled.

The young man took it. “Isn’t this extreme? It’s a source of aggravation and inconvenience, but—”
“Last time I fought a vermin spirit, it sent 10,000 cockroaches up my buddy’s asshole.”

“But—”
“They installed one backwards to fit!”
“But—”
“I’m walkin’ in circles here!!”
