Toad

"The fables always recount the same ode. Every woman dreams of a prince charming Who is the fruit of a kiss on a toad. Their sudden love will never stop burning. Who bets on such a metamorphosis? Faith of batrachian! It's foolishness! No pretty lady wants to put a kiss On a petty frog to find happiness. If she were existing; pure happenstance Only at the right dusk, at the right dew. Only at the right dawn, at the right dance. Love is not for me. This is what is true." So spoke an old toad until the last hour Before a kiss fell, sweet like a flower.
