I gotta head over to the shelters so..

- The shelter, Ah, thats so inspiring.

Yeah, i really love helping bums.

But you'd have to wait for dessert

we have a real treat.

Garrett, why don't you run and get

some of your new poetry.. - I dont want to hear it

God..I'm so embarrassed

- Don't be shy, marbles.

This is called the The Chase by Garrett Tiara.

XOXO, my love for you is XOXO.

About her smile

that I would walk a mile for.

About her personality

that makes me see the best in me.

One glance, one dance

because together we can achieve...balance

Thank you.

I loved it

Oh Philip, hate on Christmas?

- Oops..Sorry, Santa.

Sorry, Jesus.
