me a princess"
I enjoyed this poem. It was pretty humorous at some parts. The poem begins with the speaker at her job, cleaning a bathroom. When the frog appears and starts talking to the woman, she immediately disagrees with the talking frog and says "an how can i be a princess/ me a princess". The woman is aware of her current state of living, her job, her education, and possibly her looks. All of these things are contributing factors to the woman's disagreement with the frog. Although the lack of punctuation and vernacular language make the woman seems as if she is uneducated, the poem itself could have a bigger meaning. This woman understands that a slimy, green frog cannot give you what you want or desire and it definitely cannot make someone a princess. The necessity of people to desire to be something they are not is an ever present theme in society. This woman knows that even if the opportunity arises, a little frog cannot turn her into something she is not. She is smart enough to stick to her belief of this, regardless of whether she wants to be a princess or not.
