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 copyright 2009 RDP

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.
