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 saut=E9ed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and =

cream sauce, She chuckled and thought to herself:
I don't freaking think so.

He just had to put the word "virgin" in there didn't he!
