had met a fair maiden, was smitten in fact.
lost his composure, didn't know how to act,
a different result circumstances did bring.
Tripped over a witch, cursed him on the spot,
into a big frog he was turned in a blink.
Suddenly, yonder pond is where he'd drink,
what a dilemma you find yourself in Scott
Now the Princess, the lovely, sweet Tory,
pines away for her handsome missing prince.
Vanishing without any concrete evidence,
the huntress is searching for her quarry.
Now the Prince, he just has to make do,
treating the pond like it was his own.
Yet the abiding sensation of loss only grew,
the outcast feeling of being all alone.
Searching high and low for her missing beau,
sending inquires by courier, hither and yon.
Till exertion sets her skin all aglow,
flexing her birth given princess brawn.
Poor Scott is eating flies at the pond,
some might say it's what he deserved.
This green warty skin having been donned,
yet the hardships of the townsfolk were observed.
Princess Tory, disguised, canvasses the town,
coming into contact with the worst that there is.
Beginning to fear for her long vanished Griz,
she begins to wear a perpetual frown.
Human memories start to fade with time,
being a frog's not too bad of a life.
No decisions to make, no real strife,
no making judgments on another's crime.
Tory finally meets up with the wicked witch,
she lives in a very unsavory neighborhood.
Laying down the law, she's not misunderstood,
the old crone confesses, "he has been bewitched".
Must kiss the Frog Prince once on the warty nose,
will gain back his memories, all of his clothes.
She has to find her long missing love somehow,
but does not know which frog her Prince is now.
Kissing every frog she can lay her lips on,
hoping every time it will be her Don Juan.
A sudden poof, a feeling of disquieting disorientation,
a sodden prince knelt at her feet, gazing with adoration.
Led dazed to her carriage, following meekly along,
beating human heart once again breaking into song.
She owns the poor boy now, will become his wedded wife,
wont be long till he wishes, he had back a Frog's life.
