The Frog Prince!!

Once upon a time


~~~~~~~~


in a land far away,


~~~~~~~~


a beautiful, independent,


self-assured princess


~~~~~~~~


happened upon a frog as she sat


contemplating ecological issues


on the shores of an unpolluted pond


in a verdant meadow near her castle.


~~~~~~~~


The frog hopped into the princess' lap


and said: " Elegant Lady,


I was once a handsome prince,


until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.


~~~~~~~~


One kiss from you, however,


and I will turn back


into the dapper, young prince that I am


~~~~~~~~


and then, my sweet, we can marry


~~~~~~~~


and set up housekeeping in your castle


~~~~~~~~


with my mother,


~~~~~~~~


where you can prepare my meals,


~~~~~~~~


clean my clothes, bear my children,


~~~~~~~~


and forever feel


grateful and happy doing so. "


~~~~~~~~


That night,


~~~~~~~~


as the princess dined sumptuously


~~~~~~~~


on lightly sauteed frog legs


~~~~~~~~


seasoned in a white wine


~~~~~~~


and onion cream sauce,


~~~~~~~~


she chuckled and thought to herself:


~~~~~~~~


I don't f**king think so.
 
LOVE IT!!!
