Another Frogstory about a Frog who had Everything Except

once upon a time in old Bohemia, there lived a frog

who had everything.

He had a castle

with beautiful gardens

filled with vain peacocks who strutted their stuff

 bird  with an attitude

and yet he was unhappy because he had everything

except for one thing.

He wanted something  black, sleek and mean

smoother than a martini--Maserati

because he was used to being  on centerstage

and at  the center of attention.

And he wanted it to be sleek, black and mean

to match Frau Steinway's laquered finish

because he liked things to match impeccably.

And he was jealous because he didn't have wings to fly

and the little swallows twittered at his plight because they found it funny

that a frog should want to fly.

So they  gave him a compensation  gift

  to cheer him up a bit.

And told him to hang tight onto the string

lest the wind should carry him off; 

but he found this NOT FUNNY and went off in a pout.

 And decided instead that he  really-truly-really needed a new car.

His friends came roaring by  in a bright yellow roadster, but it  wasn't quite his style.

He wanted something  a bit more sophisticated, more like a Bugatti

 bugatti dreams

and decided to  go to Prague to investigate the market a bit.

He arrived by train in order to save some cash for his investment

but found that he could only stand about with his friends to admire

a banana cool screaming yellow Lamborghini.

And decided that the color was after all very nice,

but a little steep in the price.

 yellow envy

"Yellow is good for bananas and lemons," he told his friends.

"With such a color," he added, "you never know, because it could be a lemon." 

And then found himself attracted to something red, not so far from his place of employment.

 flashy red something Italian

He settled down at a table to inform everyone passing by

that really it was his very own car.

But the owner appeared and  disappeared,

leaving the poor frog with nothing but air.

So  casually he got up and decided it was time to blend in with the crowd

 and crossed the bridge  incognito along with the tourists.

And really he  wanted something more mean and deadly, not a viper, but a  Cobra. 

 red and deadly

And instead he found to his delight a dish of cherry Pragas

right on the Old Town Square.

Alas, they were for tourists and not available for sale.

And the price wasn't right besides.

So he tried to negotiate for the next best thing:

And found he couldn't afford the tomatoes. 

Disappointed, he was about to go home

when his friends advised him with wise counseling

that red and yellow make orange

and a compromise could be made

and the price was right

to fit the budgetary constrictions of his seamless pocket.

And so to this day,

the little frog is very fat and happy

and can be found driving about his large estate

in something very classic.

love you and all that
