Ribbibit Ribbibit
Such a fine specimen
Fat and happy
With your long
Lithe tongue
Snatching up flies
Worms, snails and slugs.
What do you think
About sitting there
All day long on your little
Throne in the pond?
Do you dream
Of great frog-adventures
And conquering
New lands?
Or building a great
Castle with spires
To the sky?
I’ll bet you’re just
Happy to sit
With your friends
And serenade one
Another in the setting sun
And then hide all
Day day in the
Soft, cool-wet bank
Of your little kingdom
Of mud.
