The Bird, the Frog and the Trout

A little bird set on the limb of a tree chirping and warbling as loud as can be while down by the pond a little frog set on a rock by the water all shiny and wet Said the frog to the bird, I can sing just like you and started in croaking while eating flies too A trout in the pond covered his ears and if he'd been dry, I'm sure you'd see tears Please stop all that croaking he said with a frown all of that noise could make a fish drown The little frog jumped and snapped at his fin that all that you know he said with a grin With a flip of his tail the trout swam away and hid in the shadows the rest of the day The little bird laughed and said to the frog your singings just fine if you live in a bog Each to their own the little frog said and the bird did agree with a nod of his head For the "Fable to the Rescue Contest"
