Once Upon a Time

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 sauteed frog legs
seasoned in a white wine
and cream sauce,
she chuckled and thought to herself:
"I don't fuckin' think so."

The moral of the story?

If the prince is a prince, he will come to you
as a Prince. If not, don't believe the bullshit the
frog tells you.
