Flaws and Flawless, Froggy and the Prince

(Froggy)
His  big crooked smile; the bump on his nose;
His extra large feet with short stubby toes.

Eyes sort of popping beneath eyebrows bushy;
A spare tire middle with such a small tushy!

His loud guitar music; his funny guffaw;
His love poems so cheesy that fill her with awe;

His spending too much to save any money
Because he likes always pleasing his honey.

More froggy than prince, and odder than odd,
But that’s what she loves; he’s perfectly flawed.

(The Prince)
His brilliant white teeth; the cleft in his chin;
The beautiful body; the unblemished skin.

His elegant style; his baby blue eyes,
Manicured nails, costly suits and nice ties.

His house and his Benz; his deep golden tan:
All proof he’s a go-getting clever young man.

The many smart things to the right people said;
His time at the office so he’ll get ahead.

So seemingly flawless he just can’t see why
His girlfriend ran off with that flawed froggy guy!



For SKAT!

Big Congratualtions on your first place in Skat's contest. A beautiful, witty story told with much gusto and charm to expose the flawless character of a beautiful prince, but being perfect is far from being human. So she chose to run off with that flawed froggy guy instead of marrying Prince Charming! Enjoy your victory with this amazing win! Peace and Love, Andrew.

This is a great write for the contest a sure winner. My only suggestion is stay to a syllable count of 12 OR repeat a pattern say 10 in first 2/ then 12/then 10? Not 10,9,12, all radom? [It’s aMAZing what IS seen as NICE. Is what I hear Andie what way do you suggest? please Soup me?] YOUR pupil Light & Love
