Kissed By a Frog


A fictional account as told
from a woman's perspective


Well, croak me ...
I just got kissed by a frog
Some gangly man,
looking like Lincoln, Abraham ...
an untanned man I didn't even know,
seems he hit the Lotto
I was standing next to him when he found out,
and the ghost-faced man turned and impulsively kissed me
Which surprised me completely
After that kiss though, he looked strangely different:
he appeared to be taller, even ruggedly handsome,
with skin that now had a radiant glow
It's funny how money can change a person instantly
from a frog into a prince
It's weird and wonderful that's for sure ---
Seeing someone reach the land of the rich,
by leaping from the pond of the poor
