It’s a little known fact that not all frogs are princes in disguise . . .
. . . there are two genders, one of which is the “weaker sex”.
The Frog Princess
By Judith Westerfield
There once was a Prince
With a perpetual wince
In his kingdom alone
No wife for his own.
He looked far and wide
For just the right bride
He sailed the seas
And if you please
roamed over the land
for a princess’ hand
Not one maiden fit
“I’m ready to quit
Many too greedy
Most too needy
A lot too tall
Some too small
None, not one, right at all.”
The prince was bereft The only place left Was to take to the sky Learn to fly
He was up for the ride To find the right bride
“I’ll learn to fly”
he said with a sigh, “Where I can spy
my princess from on high I must find a wife
To be in my life”
“I’m of delicate sorts
Need to change into shorts So my legs can kick
Don’t want them to stick And my knees are free
to fly higher, you see”
Just as he should
he ran fast as he could landing in mud
With a resounding thud. Jumping from trees Catching his knees.
Try as he might
he couldn’t take flight.
Then spotting a cow . . .
“She’ll surely know how Take me up to the moon It can’t be too soon! Yes, a cow will do
Four legs to my two.”
the Prince cried. And the cow replied,
“I’ll try, if you will
foot the bill
Now with all your might Hold on tight”.
My tail, not my udder!”
She yelled with a shudder
“ How now brown cow Run faster please
I’m scrapping my knees!”
The prince cried And the cow replied,
“Ok Prince, guess you’ve found I’m better on ground
Where grass is green
That’s my scene.”
Wonderful! Love it all !! Especially the fall in the mud. And hanging in the tree and being dragged by a cow.. the humor in all of it is delightful. Bravo!
