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 (of Doom, muwahahaha!)

~~~~~~~~

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 sauteed frog legs

~~~~~~~~

Seasoned in a white wine

~~~~~~~

And onion cream sauce,

~~~~~~~~

She chuckled and thought to herself,

~~~~~~~~

I don't freakin think so!

;)

I love this one Starby, absolutely love it. Frog legs. Yup, she did the right thing. :);)

Yeah, I think that frog was trying to "put one over on her" in order to avoid being the evening meal! :)

? You call that a joke? Where's the humor?

I guess you might not have understood the punch line. It might have been what you call a "tongue in cheek" joke. The frog (prince) wanted the princess to take care of his every need, so instead of the witch changing him into a prince, the princess dined on frog legs! ;)

Did you write or edit it just a little to make it a joke, starbuck8? Either way, you were quite clever in doing so!

I edited somewhat Cloughy. I had to with the final punchline for sure! ;) Not exactly how the joke was told to me!. (a few words needed changing ;) )

Good one starby!

Nice joke starby :)
