Fairy Tale for Girls

This is the fairy tale that should have been read to us when we were little:
(girls sending girls email)

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 set up housekeeping in your castle

~~~~~~~~

where you can prepare my meals,

~~~~~~~~

clean my clothes, bear my children,
make mad passionate love to me when I request

~~~~~~~~

and forever feel grateful and happy doing so. "
~~~~~~~~

That night,
~~~~~~~~
as the princess dined sumptuously
~~~~~~~~
on lightly sauteed frog legs
~~~~~~~~
seasoned in a white wine
~~~~~~~
cream sauce,
~~~~~~~~
she chuckled and thought to herself:
~~~~~~~~
I don't f**kin think so.
