"Kiss" A Frog - or KISS A PRINCE ?

A Fairy-Tale in Reverse

Kiss a frog to make a prince
And so the story goes
you might get warts upon your lips
but then one never knows.

He fed me charm like honeycomb
his face he kept so straight
his candy coated romance lies
were those I freely ate

He fit the part of a gallant prince
with that sparkle in his eye
he rode the horse of tenderness
a special sort of guy

He met my folks and I met his
We shared our past mistakes
We picnic'd on the garden shore
near his castle by the lake

He took me to the nicest pub
to chat and laugh and sit
We sang to oldie jukebox tunes
and cuddled quite a bit

Our dinner reservations were
the formal way to dine
We even danced in elegant dress
and sipped on vintage wine

One date led to another
and we spoke of future plans
my prince and I grew closer
that's how it all began

And on this special evening
as we hid behind a menu
I finally got to kiss his lips
at our first and final venue

In the weeks that were to follow
His excuses began to advance
from being too busy with shopping
to a weekend in Paris, France

From constant weekend dating
to hardly ever there
I was taken from a fairy tale
to a lonely cold nightmare

And then the fatal phone call
on that Thursday night in Dover
He said he couldn't help it - but
Our relationship was over

Now all I see before me
is his crown laid on the floor
along with his royal robe
the prince is there no more

I hear him groan in faraway dreams
as he belches some toad-like sound
He's probably croaking his batch of lies
to a new love that he's found
