Frogs & Princesses

For the ladies (tx, Angel)
This is a fairy tale that should have been read to girls when they 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 housekeeping in your castle

with my mother (no less),

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 sautéed frogs legs
seasoned in a white wine
and onion cream sauce,
She chuckled and thought to herself:

"I don't fuckin' think so."

We, the men, know that the frog

Who's going to eat you today is a prince.

Happy Valentine's Day!
