The King in all his kingly wisdom
Thought his son should find a bride.
A Bill was sent throughout the kingdom
And the adjoining countryside.
To find the prince a single floozy.
Someone who was not too choosy.

The Prince had no desire to marry
Truth to tell, the lad was gay.
He'd known it since last January
When he kissed the knight Sir Kay
Who bought him an engagement ring
But chose to keep it from the King.

Several knights throughout the land,
At the sovereigns own behest.
Promised they would lend a hand
In this wife obtaining quest.
Each knight not to be outdone
Did his best to find someone.

Sir Lancelot cared not a jot.
Sir Geraint found a stunner.
Sir Gawain brought someone short and squat.
The prince rudely chose to shun her
One brave Knight, Sir Epilogue
Turned up with a talking frog.

The frog said "If you kiss me gently
You will see a change in me.
In a kind of reassembly
A gorgeous princess I will be.
I will fill your life with laughter
We'll be happy ever after.

Come on, kiss me, make me lovely
I'm meant to be your blushing bride."
"I won't kiss you you're too ugly"
The prince ungallantly replied.
"I don't need a wife I've got a dog,
I'd rather have a talking frog.
