Frog Charming

She kissed a frog
and got no Prince
that so sad Princess sweet.
But still it quickened 
her palad pulse
and her heart it skipped a beat.

Do not judge, 
Frog had his charms
he was a clever chap.
One kiss it’s true,
love ruled the day.
Frog hopped upon her lap.

Their wedding strange,
there by his pond.
Her Castle up the hill.
The Frog you see
had cast his spell,
the Princess lost her will.

To the Castle,
the couple climbed.
A luxurious place to stay.
A talking frog,
with glowing green skin,
had somehow won the day.

French frogs philander,
he could not stop.
Our Froggy caught in the act.
Back to the pond,
annulment too,
Frog’s spell was finally cracked.

The Princess cried
“How could it be?
I loved you with my whole heart.”
He responded with beguiling smile,
“It seems we both must part!”

A bitter reality of life. It feels like our own differ and we are unworthy but it was never for us. Even in a state where he was unattractive, she accepted him and still did what he had to do. We give our pure love to the wrong people and it can never heal them. Great piece Richard.
