We bought this old, nice looking farm It had no comfort, but lots of charm The bathroom was not worth it's name But we could shower just the same Beneath the tub, there were no tiles The dirty soil showed heapy piles Little mice were dancing around But I so loved this house I'd found For me it was a dream come true Such lovely flowers in the garden too I dreamed of fairies and a handsome prince It became my castle ever since And then one time, 't was almost night I took a shower at candle's light I heard this noise and saw a frog In twilight of the shower's fog "Hey Lady, do you want to kiss? If not, then you will surely miss My change into your prince of love Take me to those sweet lips above" I was quite baffled by this sight But also thrilled in sheer delight I thought I'd found my prince at last I picked him up and rather fast I kissed him like my life would end Eyes closed, my soul to heaven send But then in laughter the 'frog' explode Too late I realized…he was a toad Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Balladeer (04-03-2007 01:35 PM).] |

A nice happy read on a day when I needed it. Congratulations to your Honeybunch. Someone must have thought she was worthy to be blessed with two offspring. I'd love to see the pictures. Thank you for telling me. I somehow feel as if I've gone down in history.   Helen |

Titia~ LOL ... well they do say that ya' gotta kiss a few toads before you get to that Prince~  I spent some nostalgic time in the meadow yesterday afternoon remembering when you were here and enjoying the nature taking over~ The grapefruit trees are still laden with fruit and the oranges too ... they are setting new blossoms along with the fruit and it smells just Heavenly out there~ Love you gal~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

How could I visit PIP's and not read your work dear lady, and having read it you leave me laughing like a drain. I say better getsome tiles on the floor and get the plumbing fixed to keep the toads out, because they know how to breed. Good poem, you still have style. a good commitee can decimate communication. |
