Frogs.

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 sautéed frog legs
Seasoned in a white wine
And onion cream sauce,
She chuckled and thought to herself:

I don't freakin think so.

Thanks to the "princess" who sent this to me!


Song 4 Tricia (Princes and Frogs) - by SuperchicK
You hate men is what you say and I understand how you feel that way
All girls dream of a fairy tale
But what you've got's like a used car salesman
Trying to conceal what's wrong behind a smile and a song
And I'm not saying that boys are not like that
But I think you should know
That some of us will grow
Because. . .All princes start as frogs and all gentlemen as dogs
Just wait till its plain to see
What we're growing up to be
Some frogs will still be frogs
Some dogs will still be dogs
Some boys will become men
Just don't kiss us til then
