Just croaking all night
Medley of sweet melody 
Fun in frog lingo

Out of old pond can
jump in but will stick around
rather for the kiss

Nice legs, pond your home?
Yes but rather curious you
are not French are you?

prince in second stanza

  14. How nice if we could understand the frog's lingo.
    The second stanza is a throwback of our school days during story time.
    Nicely written, Hank. :)
