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.
Once 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 sauteed frog legs
seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce,
she chuckled and thought to herself:
I don't fucking think so.
