Just Like A Woman! …. [ My Rejoinder/Response To Kim Barney's Fine, Funny, Froggy Poem, "Enchanted Princess"; Fantasy; Humor; Not Too Long; ‘the Best-Laid Plans Of Frogs And Men'] Comments

(cont.) .. No, sir, I'm not, old Clyde replied. See, I don't have a dog. At my age I don't need a bride, but I've got a talking frog! Kim Barney So THERE! ;) BRI

(cont.) .. Marvin reached for the frog; Clyde grabbed it first. Marvin's hopes were dashed; his bubble was burst. Clyde's hand was fast, as quick as a rocket. He didn't kiss the frog; he put it in his pocket. Marvin didn't understand. Had Clyde gone out of whack? Aren't you going to kiss the frog and bring the princess back? (cont.)

Enchanted Princess - Poem by Kim Barney Two old gentlemen, named Marvin and Clyde, were out for a walk in the countryside. Please help me! they heard, coming from a bog, and they looked down and saw a slimy frog. I'm a princess, it said, under a spell. If you will kiss me, I'll reward you well. So kiss me and release me, I implore, and I will be your bride forevermore. (cont.)

Hey, Bri, I had never seen this poem before, until today. How did I miss it? I actually laughed out loud when I read it! I'm glad I could inspire you...

Talk about turning traditions upside down! What a laugh, Bri. I love the frogs' legs wedding meal. Is there some allegory I'm missing?

Awesome, Bri....It just couldn't be the case that somehow Sheila morphed into a frog? That would explain....well, you know. A very funny write.

Were those legs of the 'Enchanted frog princess'......? ? However, it sounds so cruel..... After all she had stayed close to Clyde's heart in his pocket for long! I am sure Bri won't miss any feast, especially if there is a dessert of butter cake and ice cream after the meal!

Looks like E.P. was being groomed to be part of the menu. There are no frog rights or prenuptial agreements in this frogs prospects. Hope those frog legs were a slender delight. Not that I would enjoy eating frog..lol
