Princess And The Frog

[kix4funchick]

This is the fairy tale that should have been read to us when we were little:



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 sauted frog legs
~~~~~~~~
seasoned in a white wine
~~~~~~~
and onion cream sauce,
~~~~~~~~
she chuckled and thought to herself:
~~~~~~~~
I don't F****in think so.
