I Kissed a Frog

I Kissed a Frog

I kissed a frog on a silly dare,

Hoped for a prince, got a slimy scare.

His beady eyes just stared at me,

now my lips feel like they’re scarey

A tingle first, then an awful itch,

Now they’re red and starting to twitch.

A bumpy plague has taken hold,

I should’ve listened—I’d been told.

Forget the fairytales, they tell you lies,

Kissing a frog just multiplies

Your need for ointments, creams, and pills.

Next time, I’ll stick to smelling daffodils.
