Prince? There was a prince who was a frog For sure he was a down right hog. He wore a cloak of blinding wool And even kept the three bags full. He took for granted all in sight Even the phantoms of his night He used his gifts in willful need Without the slightest thought for deed Used his power with awesome ease And never fell upon his knees Thought he owned the sun the sky He even thought that he could fly. And one day stood upon the roof To show his subjects living proof And called out loud to see him fly Spread his arms and said goodbye. And he flew for the briefest time And now he’s known as prince sublime. |

Giving 30 percent, taking 70....and taking everything for granted. With the outward appearance of a prince...the inward feeling of a frog.... SPLAT goes the frog prince when the lilly pad crumbles.... Thanx for your wise messages....as always.. |

 BRAVO!!! Oh Seymour, I think I can see what you mean here, sweet friend, arrogance and vanity leads to the downfall in someone always whereas charity and loving what you have only makes you happier! (sigh) You detail this so well, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

You made me do this.... There was a prince, a prince of fools who lived apart from the golden rules He smiled and joked so happily yet inside him, you could not see. For in the heart of stone this prince who gave to all but not one pence. And took so hungrily from them all till one day in crumble he did fall. The prince of fools, was seen to be far less princely, so devilishly His stature high upon his log seen to be but only a fool and a frog. |

I didn't think it was possible to love your poems more than I did last week... but now I hear your voice as I read... and every word is even more treasured. *S* This is wonderful, Seymour... and written by a true prince... no question about it. *S* |
