And they lived hoppily

The princess sat along a stream,

crying in the sun

Closed her eyes and dreamt a dream,

about the perfect one

 

For love had never come her way,

she longed for it so much

The tender words that he might say,

a gentle caring touch

 

When then a frog hopped into view,

a slimy little guy

He smiled and said, “How do you do?”

A twinkle in his eye

 

She frowned for she was feeling bad,

not real sure what to say

Then whispered, “I am kind of sad,

but how are you today?”

 

He croaked an answer quietly

“I’m sad like you, as well

A handsome prince I used to be

before that witch’s spell”

 

“But fear not, for it could be worse,

it’s not so bad like this

The only way to break the curse

is with a princess’ kiss”

 

She rolled her eyes at what he said

“You must think I am daft”

Then saw the crown upon his head

and stopped before she laughed

 

Perhaps what he had said was true

and this could be her chance

To end this feeling, oh so blue

with a new found romance

 

He looked at her, tears in his eyes

Then said in sorrowed voice

“Don’t worry, I’ll just eat some flies,

it’s totally your choice”

 

Oh what the hell, she thought a while

this chance I shall not miss

And then he saw her gorgeous smile

as she gave him a kiss

 

A puff of smoke, the brightest glare,

then something did explode

And where she once was seated there,

now sat a princess toad

 

He never could imagine this,

his wish had just come true

When she gave him another kiss,

she felt the same way too

 

They fell in love, a perfect dream,

as joy now filled their eyes

And spent their days along that stream,

together catching flies

 

And they lived hoppily ever…

 

Oh wait, is that a tadpole I see? 

I guess they lived VERY hoppily ever after  

 

Ok, you can roll your eyes now.  :)

If it worked for Shrek and Princess Fiona, it can work for toads too! Toads are err, people too! 😊

That they are, that they are.

A splendid take on a classic story. You transformed it into a poetic form.
