THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG

Once upon a time in a land far away,

Long, long ago on a far distant day 

There lived a beautiful princess

An independent, self-assured noblesse

She strolled the shores of the lake

On her beautifully green castle estate

Contemplating issues of this and that

Then came upon a frog as she sat

The frog hopped onto the girls knee

And said Oh beautiful Elegant Lady

I was once handsome and princely

Until an evil witch cast a spell on me
 

But Princess just one kiss from you

And you will break the spells hoodoo

I will again be handsome and princely

And then, my dearest, we can marry
  

We’ll live in your castle with my mother

My seven sisters and all my brothers 

You can cook clean and do the laundry

And we can raise an enormous family

 

You will always be happy and grateful

And forever after you will be dutiful

All this with just one kiss from you

A future together for me and you

 

That night the princess dined in solitude

On the sumptuously prepared food

Smiling as she recalled the prince beg

As she ate the delicious, sautéed frogs leg 

WHAT'S LONG AND HARD

What's long and hard and makes women moan?

I think that is universally known

Let us all shout out the answer in accord

The answer has to be an ironing board

TILLOTTAMA

 

Tillottama, Apsara

Of the clouds and waters

In Hindu and Buddhist mythology

A celestial nymph

And celestial maiden

A beautiful supernatural being

Youthful and elegant,

Who dances to the music

Of the Gandharvas,

In the palaces of the Gods,

Entertainer and seducer

Of Gods and men

An ethereal being

Inhabiting the skies

I LOVE ANAGRAMS # 13

 

I love anagrams

Anagrams are great

Some make me chuckle

Some make my sides split

For example

Desperation = a rope ends it

I’D DO ANYTHING

 

“I’d do anything” how apt a title

A motto for the wannabee

A catch phrase for the starstruck

And all those lacking dignity

USE AS DIRECTED

 

If you should confuse your Valium

With your birth control pills, beware

You’ll end up with sixteen kids

But I don’t suppose you’ll care

I’D DO ANYTHING, REPRISE

 

Just another in a long line

Of talent shows from hell

Just another TV concept

Ringing out its death knell

 

But how clever is the Lord

To have the dear old BBC

Foot the bill for the auditions

Out of the TV license fee

 

Then the members of the public

Who vote as they view

Get to Pay via the phone-ins

For the shows advertising too
