Thanks, Kurt - it's been a while since I've created anything. I found the first attempt very difficult to solve, so I've added a revision. Hope you enjoy solving it!

Lovely!
This actually reminds me of a Muppet version of the Princess and the Frog. Robin the Frog (Kermit's nephew) plays the frog, and the princess is under a witch's spell and can only speak in Spoonerisms. She knows how to break the spell, but can only say "Bake the Hall in the Candle of her Brain" (which translates to Break the Ball in the Handle of her Cane), because the witch's magic ball is the source of her power.

Has anyone else seen this? I have no idea what the title is. Also, I think that in the original fairy tale the princess was playing with a ball when it fell in the water and the frog prince retrieved it for her. :)

I remember that, Kristen! I loved the Muppet specials; if I'm not mistaken, it may have been a Hallmark presentation. When we were kids, TV was still spectacular!

Nice! The image really popped out at the end, and is lovely. I like your pun. :)

Well, it's a neat image with the explanation. When I solved it though, I thought it was a woman with a sweat-band lifting weights. Both are fun images.
