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 freaking think so.
