And They Lived Hoppily Ever
And they lived hoppily
The princess sat along a stream,
crying in the sun
Closed her eyes and dreamt a dream,
about the perfect one
For love had never come her way,
she longed for it so much
The tender words that he might say,
a gentle caring touch
When then a frog hopped into view,
a slimy little guy
He smiled and said, “How do you do?”
A twinkle in his eye
She frowned for she was feeling bad,
not real sure what to say
Then whispered, “I am kind of sad,
but how are you today?”
He croaked an answer quietly
“I’m sad like you, as well
A handsome prince I used to be
before that witch’s spell”
“But fear not, for it could be worse,
it’s not so bad like this
The only way to break the curse
is with a princess’ kiss”
She rolled her eyes at what he said
“You must think I am daft”
Then saw the crown upon his head
and stopped before she laughed
Perhaps what he had said was true
and this could be her chance
To end this feeling, oh so blue
with a new found romance
He looked at her, tears in his eyes
Then said in sorrowed voice
“Don’t worry, I’ll just eat some flies,
it’s totally your choice”
Oh what the hell, she thought a while
this chance I shall not miss
And then he saw her gorgeous smile
as she gave him a kiss
A puff of smoke, the brightest glare,
then something did explode
And though she once was seated there,
now sat a princess toad
He never could imagine this,
his wish had just come true
When she gave him another kiss,
she felt the same way too
They fell in love, a perfect dream,
as joy now filled their eyes
And spent their days along that stream,
together catching flies
And they lived hoppily ever…
Oh wait, is that a tadpole I see?
I guess they lived VERY hoppily ever after :)
Ok, you can roll your eyes now. :)
