Hazel Tells LaVerne

Discuss the poem's use of irony.

It is ironic because there is this lady that finds a frog in the toilet and the frog talks. You don't expect the frog to talk because frogs can't talk but in this poem it does. Also, the frog tells the girl that if she kisses the him than she will turn into a princess. What I thought was ironic was that this slave does not kiss the frog and if she did her life would be so much better because she would have become a princess! Instead she just thinks the frog is a pervert and those him back into the toilet and flushes it three times until he is completely gone.
