A frog-gy ballad
The male frog sings
in the moon lit air,
calling out to his mistress frog
over there.
And he croaks and croaks
his loud and tuneful notes,
but be sure it is not with the aim
of clearing his throat.
It’s all with the goal of attracting
a mistress frog-gy lass,
to entice her out
of the long long grass.
And she,
with her long and slender legs
will eventually come and lay
her frothy white eggs.
And be sure there will be more croaks
before too long,
in the long long grass
by the white Lilly pond.
