Once upon a time there was a beautiful, if unlikely, princess called
Polly. Princess Polly had been locked in a cold stone castle, miles from
anywhere, by her wicked uncle the Red Baron Beret. The Baron was far too
busy making fancy hats for his croak SWAM (Special Weapons And Millinery)
force in preparation for the invasion of neighbouring Frogland to bother
with his poor lonely niece.

As Princess Polly traipsed once again around the splendid garden of her
castle she saw a large frog sitting on a  really large lily making the
usual disgusting array of ribbett-ribbett and knee-deep noises.

"A-ha" thought the dazzling Princess Polly, "perhaps if I pick up that
slimy green blob of eructation, and give it a really big kiss it will turn
into a handsome prince who will say 'You trilby mine' and carry me away 
from all this?

In one deft move she scooped up the nauseating amphibian, puckered up and
gave him a great big sloppy kiss. Flash, bang wallop, up like an arrow
shot the handsome prince, hero of dreams.

"Oh, handsome Prince," she gasped "will you marry me?"

"What, marry some kinky girl that goes round kissing frogs? Leave it out!"out
