An opportunity lost

it really happened last night

It happened at midnight

by the light of the silvery full moon

He sat in the middle of the kitchen

Right there on the floor

I picked him up too soon

Carried him out of the door

It felt right

To release him on a nearby lawn

Only much later

did it dawn:

I had a chance and didn't seize it

I could have kissed a Prince

Instead I got rid of him

sent him on his troubled road

He was that one in a million

a large and ugly toad

You tell it so well, Gina! The strange thing is that after reading your poem I came across a photo of my granddaughter on Face Book holding a frog. I added a caption ... a frog or a prince? and thought of you! Hugs, Li

I believe it, Gina, and love it. How often does one get to write
a tale like this? And you do it so well. Interesting rhymes.
