Tis merely to say...I have considered him too...

Twas frogsong too devine
A frog's life I would not miss
I would make you my wife
For but a kiss

A prince trapped in a lonely hopper
Yet not his words could even stop her
As she wished to be alone
Anxious she to be back home

Without froglips talking madly
She paused once more to gaze away sadly
You speak ? Asked Much Afraid feigning frown, Yet frog made not another sound

Onward walking slow
The maiden did not want to know
The rustling forest floor made fear
Though only froglegs hopping in the rear

Was Prince like voice so very clever
Oh what I'd give for just one kiss
Prompting maiden's promise of Never!
More frogsong promising bliss

Oh loathsome toad so weak and small
Much less than even frog
Certainly not a prince at all

Liken only to your lies
Should I save you just to see some princelike eyes, from your own demise

Oh Maiden sweet what chance to meet
You murder flower to hair adorn
Hold sacred then your own heart torn

Much Afraid was taken aback
What Love of hers did for flowers have
She wished to give that toad a smack
Though strength for this she lacked

So sit upon the forest floor
To consider spells and loving more
She drifted off to sleep
Regreting the frogsong that made her sore

And frog so sadly cursed
The thoughts were these to bring more frogsong unrehearsed

One mean spirit woman scorned
One kiss two kiss three kiss
Free

I am a prince once more.

Nice twist on a classic and it is lovely and exciting as a stroll through a dank dark forest... Fee
