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.
