My family's odd I warn my date
He grins, insisting the night will be great
My mom's a witch, my dad's a warlock
My brothers shout curses instead of small talk
My sister keeps her hydra in the hall
He says he can't wait to meet them all
Walking to the door I'm breathing quickly
My sight's blurring and my stomach's prickly
The banshee on the stairs doesn't phase him
Nor the hydra's hundred looks dark and grim
He greets my brothers super politely
And my sister in a way most knightly
When dad slaps his back I lose my worry
We're all laughing when mom makes her entry
He kisses her hand she calls him a dear
Poof! He's on the table a spotted deer
My family feeds him salad, berries, hay
They say that they like him better this way
He's joining in the wild frolicking
I turn away, they're so embarrassing!

better deer than frog i guess
