World's 'loneliest' Frog Gets A Date

[naomi24]

Lovely story. I hope Romeo doesn't turn into a prince when Juliet kisses him for the first time.

Hope he doesn't croak it beforehand.
(get that one in before some other wag does) ;-)

Do hope they get along.

Oops! I meant 'turn into a prince' Sure I typed that, but never mind.

Kermit the Romeo would be best advised to ‘leg it’ and do a hoppit before the French cotton on to him

Think AB's playing up a bit tonight naomi (as per my other post that you commentated on...I never pressed enter halfway through reply)

It's not unknown, nailit.

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

[ummmm]

Awww...after all this time will he even know what to do :-)

What a handsome boy he is. Perhap she'll seduce him.

Fingers crossed it works and they are brought back from the edge of extinction.
