Speaking of princes (tho I wish we didn’t have to), I notice that yet again today there’s been a lot of American fawning over the British royal family that we fought a revolution to get rid of back in 1776-1783. And yet here they come again, bedecked with purple sashes, gold braid, and a gazillion medals that I’m sure they must’ve won thru heroic valor on their many battlefields. Would someone please kiss them and turn them all back into frogs?
“The sun oozed over the horizon, shoved aside darkness, crept along the greensward, and, with sickly fingers, pushed through the castle window, revealing the pillaged princess, hand at throat, crown asunder, gaping in frenzied horror at the sated, sodden amphibian lying beside her, disbelieving the magnitude of the frog’s deception, screaming madly, ’You lied!” - winner of Bulwar-Lytton contest, about 2 decades ago.

Why he turned out so,
It’s in her kiss -

She would rather have a talking frog than a prince.

Kiss a frog, get a Frank. Not a good trade

To be Frank about it, the frog loses.
