And thought of you ...

[Hoping (or is that 'hopping') it makes you laugh as much as it did me ... ]

Madam, it did indeed. Thank you, both for this and the previous gift, which will be placed in an honoured position in my treasure casket. Btu I cannot help, through my laughter, a small sigh of pity for that poor, broken amphibian, lying askew on his lily chaise like a consumptive poet. Did you not have the heart to kiss him, and thus break his enchantment?

I will do so ... when I finally stop laughing ...

I am sure you will stop when he transforms into a strapping, handsome prince. Though I suspect that lily will no longer take his weight, so I'd take a towel with you.

I do really like frogs though ... what to do !?!? ...

 

[DesEsseintes]

If you give him a quick peck on the cheek he might half-transform, like a creature from HP Lovecraft. Then you'd get the best of both worlds: a gigantic frog with powerful green legs and wet, clammy hands to warm you...

Hang on. I mean the worst of both worlds, don't I. Yep. Definitely the worst. Oh well, I need to give this more thought.
