The Princess and the Frog
Once upon a time
in a land far far away
a beautiful, independent,
self assured princess
happened upon a frog as she ate
comtemplating 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 wicth 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 in doing so.
That night,
as the princess dined sumptuously
on a repast of lightly sauteed frog legs
seasoned in a white wine
and onion cream sauce,
she chuckled to herself and thought:
"I don't F*#!ING think so!"
