Trying To Avoid That Frog Thing

walking
along not
a prince nor
a thief but a man

i ran
upon a
sleeping
beauty of a

wow 
what a
woman
very oo la la

but having
read of such
things as a child
i slipped under the

caution
tape and 
made straight
for this maiden's

face but
knew not
on her lips
to kiss and so

looking
for any last
boobie traps
seeing none i

placed
a single
kiss on the
tip of her nose

not one
thing nada
nothing occurred
so i poked her with a

stick
trying as
i did to wake
her from slumber

not
noticing
or noting that
my legs only my

legs
were of
that of a
frog and so

hopping
away back
home i avoided
French restaurants
