Eat the frog.
I don’t wanna eat the frog.
Just eat the frog. You’ll feel better.
No.
You’ll have to anyway.
Bloody don’t.
. . . .
Can’t I just spin three times widdershins
and beat my chest like a baboon?
Just eat the fucking frog!
It’s the last thing I want to do!
You’ll feel better!
NO I WON’T!
YES YOU WILL!
Meanwhile, Frog, watching this tennis match, eye-rolls, hops onto a nearby lily pad, and sails away.

What a fun poem to start the day with! I’m glad Froggy escaped on his lily pad. Maybe he married Miss Mousey.
One good chuckle deserves another–I think you will like the poem I posted this morning. It is ridiculous! 😛

Ha! It’s not easy being green, as they say. You made me laugh with this little gem, Sunra. I have kissed a few, btw, and it never works out either.

A bicker many of us can relate to I’m sure – albeit without an actual frog! Nice one.

Sometimes it is best to be unwanted. Off goes a frog to croak another day. Well done.
