Frog in the Fog
I waited for you to kiss me
So your love could set me free
Sadly you were concerned by looks
Nightmares aren’t only in books
Sure it is true that I am green
Inner strength isn’t easily seen
So my dear I am still a frog
On a lily pad in the fog
A Prince trapped for eternity
You Princess did not set me free
I would settle for just a hug
Instead I’m dining on a bug
Today I hop along my way
You married no reason to stay
A toad you chose that’s so absurd
Better looking that’s what I heard.
