Lacrees a Princess Frog

Her exquisite lace linen collar tiered in layers of dainty threes Was not the only beautifying feature of Princess LaCrees Her beetle necklace of green peridot was engraved well Her monocle was designed by Bob Mackie’s protégé, Snell. She was the ultimate spring peeper croaker. We saw by her wardrobe, she was a leap frogging bloaker. Prominently featured on her front was a darling topaz roach broach. It was the kind of semi jewel that would never have to ride in coach. Princess LaCrees knew to top off her flashy outfit with a favored crown. Orange crushed velvet puff ball at the top, it was a coppery light brown. She is dazzling, a jumper among the reeds, the best of the best. Ribbit Ribbit she shouts, her head a big crest. Don’t you get hungry wearing all of those bugs? Asked Lady in Waiting. Not really, the princess answered, as her maids began the uncrating. Grasshoppers, ants, beetles, and lady bugs were scattering all around. She stabbed and ate them all with her wand, without making a sound.
