The True Story of a Princess


As I gazed up at the starry sky In the corner something caught my eye Certainly not the cutest thing It opened its mouth as if to sing I almost fainted when this frog spoke to me I tried to throw him over the balcony He was hopping and jumping saying no please wait A wish on a star…no way this was my fate My father’s dream tucked in my heart And a promise from a frog to give me a big start I did the only thing a girl like me could do That night momma and I had the best frog leg stew Lol..I’m only joking, it didn’t go quite that way I sat and listened to everything he had to say I believed him and felt really bad So I boxed him up and took him to his mom and dad To my surprise this frog was no lie I watched as his mom listened and began to cry They thanked me and I turned to walk away When his mother said would you like to stay It must have shown all over my face …she again replied well we certainly have the space The father said, we understand our son is not gone But we still need a descendant for the throne I look back now and it all seems senseless How people think kissing a frog can make you a princess. -Princess Tiana
