The Frog who and the Princess?
For our Writing Into The Day, Lacy gave us this poem by Kathryn Machan. I really wanted to do a blog post on this poem because I thought it was so hilarious. We all know the story about the magic frog, and if he is kissed he will turn that lucky girl into a princess. This poem kind of shows how hard the frog worked to get the kiss. When you think about the story you never think the frog went from girl to girl asking to be kissed. Who would kiss a frog? I would hope not that many people. If this story were real, we would all think "Who would kiss a frog?" or "How many girls did he asked before one kissed him?". This is almost like an excerpt from his experience. I also like the way she wrote the poem. She wrote it like the girl was saying it, and it makes reading it that much more fun. She says she could never be a princess, and it is ironic because she easily could be if she kissed the frog she calls "perverted". I really like it and it is an enjoyable read.

When we read this poem I kept searching for the meaning but just realized it was just meant to be funny
ReplyDeleteI agree the why this is writen makes it more enjoble to read. I think the accent of the writtng has alot to do with it. "am i hitsim with my mop" Thats funny right there I dont care who you are.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed this poem. When I was younger I read the story of the princess and the frog, but I never thought about how the frog was turned down before he found a girl that would kiss him. I also thought that the poem was a little funny because the frog did get turned down.
