Got this email from a friend!
This fairy tale should have been read to us girls when we were little:
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 house In your castle
with my mother,
where you can prepare my meals,
clean my clothes, bear my children, Walk my dog And attend to my every need
forever you will 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 sipped her chilled crisp wine
Chuckled and thought to herself:
I don't f**in' think so.
