The fairy tale we should have been told as little girls...

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


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 sautéed frog legs


~


Seasoned in a white wine


~


And onion cream sauce,


~


She chuckled and thought to herself:


~


I don't f_______ think so.

Recieved in the email from a friend with no author's name. If you know who they are, I'm happy to give credit. Wish I'd heard this one before I met my first husband...LOL.
