That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 25, 2023

“I’m hanging out with you because my date didn’t turn out to be anatomically correct.”

“Lady, how are you talking to me when you don’t have a face;” says the talking frog.

Kermit the Frog’s dream comes true!

/// “I’m a frog with the mind of a Prince,”

he croaked out to the girl to convince

her to give him a kiss.

“You’ll be glad you did, Miss.

Would it help if I chewed a few mints?”

He’s not really a genie, he’s just a toady.

“Wait, I thought it was supposed to be just a kiss.”

“well, you know, inflation. I’ve been in this pond a long time”.

My! What a long tongue you have!

Lady Chatterley and Oliver Mellors had an unexpected visitor, at their tryst.

A mere million dollars just doesn’t go as far as it used to.

Ken waited for Barbie to kiss the frog so that he could enter the scene. Their kinky “Princess and the Frog” role play was exactly what they needed to spice things up.

In spite of her piteous cries/

Courageously she defies/

And bravely withstands/

Osculation demands

From a guy who devours flies !

He clearly is not among/

The handsome, or heavily hung./

His hugs are half- hearted,/

But don’t get her started/

On his wonderfully talented tongue!

“Did God really say, ‘Stay away from strangers’”?

SOLTICE*1947 and CALL ME ISMAEL: grand poems. Stay safe and healthy my friends.

His bachelor pad is a lily.

There are three rules for wishes in myths and legends:

1. You cannot take away anyone else’s free will.

2. You cannot bring back the dead with a wish.

3. You cannot time travel.

(Now there are stories where the wishes were used to acquire the means to bring back the dead but the wish could not do it directly.)

And Myths tend not to restrict the wishes to 3 unless there were 3 objects/beings that each granted one wish. But even in the case of one being who could only grant one wish, some could grant multiples but each subsequent wish erased the previous one. Genies would grant unlimited wishes within the scope of their power as long as they remain bound to their ring or lamp.

“He says he’ll still respect me, and we’ll get married as soon as his inheritance is settled. What do you think?”

The Prince’s implacable stare/

While fearsome, can never compare/

With a mugshot I saw/

Of a “martyr to law”/

And his boldly defiant glare !

Dangedest ménage a trois ever ! (I just realized that other figure is “male”)

Von Hoffman painted trees and grasses, With naked young lads and lasses, But we’d all agree, There’d be so much more to see, If only he had worn his glasses.

“Look, lady. It’s okay for me to be naked; I’m a frog. You and your friend need to go put something on.”

After sleeping with Harold, the frog is starting to look pretty good to Susanne.

“The truth is, I just don’t find you all that attractive. Sorry, lady.”

♫ Hello my baby, Hello my Honey, hello my ragtime gal! ♫ (Michigan J. Frog)

I only come here for the frogs.

Yes, I know “Daddy loves Froggy. Froggy love daddy?” but does Froggy love me? Thank you, Mel Brooks,

my wish is give him some great genitalia along with his good body .

/// After Adam reclined for a snooze,

the Frog came up to Eve with some news.

“The Snake asked me to say

if you meet him today

he’s got offers you cannot refuse.”

She: I’m not bad, I’m just painted this way.

Before there was “Last one in is a rotten egg”; there was “first one in turns into a frog”.

This might be a good place to plug John Moore’s The Unhandsome Prince, one of his fractured fairy stories with more modern sensibilities. In this one, the village maiden, knowing that a Prince has been turned into a frog recently, grids out the pond with string and blocks in incoming stream to prevent new tadpoles from entering.

Kermit the Frog, can you tell me where the nearest Victoria Secret store is…….

Do you have any toys?

Frog: “If you kiss me, I will turn into a beautiful Princess, and we can live happily ever after”

Woman: “Princess? I think you want the gentleman over there”

Frog: “No, I do not.”
