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 frog's legs with a delicious wine sauce,

and chuckled to herself:

"I don't fukking think so."
