Fallen Queen...A Fucked Up Fairy Tale

she could not bring herself to kiss
the dirty little frog
not getting passed his green slimmey face
and warty splotchy skull

never handsome enough to love
in spite of his viscous sincerity
and
her
own
yearning
snail fish

And will it be worth it?

Two spelling mistakes in the first 3 lines is NOT a great start.
PAST not past
SLIMY not slimmey

On the positive side, I liked "viscous sincerity". I expect no less from a frog.

Puzzled by the snail fish bit.
