    Once upon a time!
    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!

    ;)

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

    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 ;) )
