Rodney was known as a fickle prince,
No one girl was enough for him.
He didn’t try to understand fidelity,
Thinking he was such a gift to them.
Intimacy was for girls, he thought,
He was just looking for some quick fun.
But, like every cad whose ever lived,
A situation arose he couldn’t overcome.
A beautiful girl was on a precipice,
And he decided with her to have his way,
But when she kissed him, a frog he became,
Now he wishes to go back to yesterday.
But, no matter the promises he makes
That he will change if he can be human again,
He is stuck in this altered state of being,
Forever to wish for what might have been.

Excellent Regina, there is a lot to be taken from this about living day to day and for doing the right things for the right reasons. Thanks for participating.

Thank you, Michael. I wanted to change it up, but still leave a moral to the story. Of course, I’ve kissed a lot of toads looking for a prince. Thankfully, I found him on the Internet. Less painful.

A clever weaving of all the prompt words — and definitely a unique twist to the old tale. Thanks for joining our prompt. 🙂

That would have taught him a lesson he’ll never forget. I loved the twist. ♥️😃

One of my favourite kid’s songs is A Frog he Would A Woo-ing Go and now it’s going to be playing in my head all day!
A little light relief!
