The story of the princess and the frog,  
like many of its kind, is in the telling.  
So whether it is captured in a blog,  
weird fonts all over, never mind the spelling,  
or in a leather-bound, expensive print,  
an introduction from a noted author,  
inside a text, font small enough to squint,  
how dare he, nervy upstart, to betroth her,  
or worse yet, in a ridiculing meme,  
like what a couple, right? A likely story,  
a perfect illustration of the theme,  
all from an ancient, ageless allegory,  
they wallow in their willingness to miss,  
that sometimes, the whole story is a kiss.
