the preposterous union
"well uncle rat laughed and hit his fat side
to think miss mousie a froggy's bride, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh"
"what will the wedding supper be
a french fried mosquito and a black eyed pea, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh"
...reminiscing froggy going a courtin' today.
A tall tale of a horse who married a hedgehog to follow soon.
an icy wedding
I was looking for funny anecdotes and witty sayings today and found a very strange tale of an icy marriage. Empress Anna Ivanovna was quite displeased when Prince Mikhail Alekseyevich Galitzine decided to marry a Catholic Italian woman rather than an Eastern Orthodox one. His bride died within two years of the marriage. Anna still held the grudge and decided on retribution. First she forced the prince to become a jester and then she retaliated again by forcing him to marry an ugly woman, another court jester. After the wedding ceremony, the couple were paraded on the back of an elephant with a crowd of "freaks" as their processional. They were then taken to the ice palace Anna had especially built where the happy couple were forced to spend their first night of wedded bliss. The ice house was complete with ice dishes and ice sculptures and ice pillows and a four post ice bed. The bride and groom were locked in their frigid nuptial room, and miraculously survived the night. Nine months later the jesters gave birth to twins. The ice house melted by summertime.
And what is the moral of this wacky story, children? If one sleeps on an ice pillow, take extra caution not to drool.
