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

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’s lap
And said: “Elegant lady, I was once a handsome prince,
Until a evil witch cast a spell over 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 scrumptiously
On lightly sautéed frogs legs
Seasoned in white wine
And onion cream sauce,
She chuckled and though to herself

I don’t think so, froggy!!
