Pretty Pink Frogs

Little Freddy Froggy Was a special kind of frog Rhyming off the alphabet While sitting on a log Every seventh letter He would leap up in the air And hope that when he landed The log would still be there Once a great big gust of wind Moved the log downstream Freddy landed in the drink Oh what an ugly scene His temper started showing As he then began to mutter Couldn't remember letters That followed one another Just then a fairy princess Came by and saw the fuss She scolded Freddy Froggy For his temper and his cuss She cast a spell and to this day That's why all frogs are green A pretty pink before this fuss Now green for being mean! © Jack Ellison 2013

Been told that before... made one attempt a couple of years ago and came up empty. Perhaps I'll give it another shot! Thanks for the great review, my talented friend! Cheers!
