[lace-chat] Modern fairy tale

2005-06-29 Thread Jennifer Audsley
This is the fairy tale that we should have been reading as little kids!
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 setup 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 a repast of lightly sauteed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion 
cream sauce, she chuckled and thought to herself:
I don't ing think so...
