A Beautiful Fairy Tale

~~~~~~~~
Once upon a time,
~~~~~~~~
in a land far away,
~~~~~~~~
a beautiful, independent,
~~~~~~~~
self-assured princess
~~~~~~~~
happened upon a frog as she sat,
~~~~~~~~
contemplating ecological issues
~~~~~~~~
on the shores of an unpolluted pond
~~~~~~~~
in a verdant meadow near her castle.
~~~~~~~~
The frog hopped into the princess' lap
~~~~~~~~
and said: Elegant Lady,
~~~~~~~~
I was once a handsome prince,
~~~~~~~~
until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.
~~~~~~~~
One kiss from you, however,
~~~~~~~~
and I will turn back
~~~~~~~~
into the dapper, young prince that I am
~~~~~~~~
and then, my sweet, we can marry
~~~~~~~~
and setup housekeeping in your castle with my mother,
~~~~~~~~
where you can prepare my meals,
~~~~~~~
clean my clothes, bear my children,
~~~~~~~~
and forever feel grateful and happy doing so.
~~~~~~~~
That night, as the princess dined sumptuously
~~~~~~~~
on a repast of lightly sautéed frog legs
~~~~~~~~
seasoned in a white wine with onion cream sauce,
~~~~~~~~
she chuckled and thought to herself:
~~~~~~~~

I don't fucking think so.

I wish I knew who wrote this - someone sent it to me Ages ago and I just found it again in my docs.
Had to post it.

Hi fellow Firefly fan,

Daisy said come read this, and since I almost always do what Daisy says, here I am. LOL

This was a much needed chuckle in the middle of some lousy editing. Someone sent it to me years ago too, and if I ever come across where I put it maybe it will say there where it came from. I'd forgotten how funny this was, thanks for the reminder.
