in "Hazel Tells Laverne" by Katharyn Howd Machan uses the myth of "kissing a frog to turn it into a prince." In the poem, Hazel rejects this myth, choosing to hit the frog with a mop and flush it down the drain. The more figurative myth it represents, that you can get something "me, a princess" for nothing "just kiss me" is not even given consideration, but discarded.
