A Frog's Life

Friend, it ain't so easy bein' a frog I lie for hours with my eyes wide open All the while smellin' this old midewed log Watchin' for bugs, just watchin' and hopin' You may not know it, a human and all, But bugs is gettin' scarce and dang near rare - What with poisons at your beck and call - And I'll find my lunch, but who knows just where I fin'ly see a bug in my left eye But a snake's watchin' me in the right one He don't see the hawk watchin' him go by - It is hard to tell which of us is done Now I see a kid on the river bank With a brand new gun, a Sears twenty two He's anxious to give that trigger a yank -\ One of us is plugged, I'm wonderin' who Just eatin' lunch ain't what it used to be Next thing you know there'll be a barkin' dog This peaceful swamp ain't peaceful as you see Friend, it ain't so easy bein' a frog 10/16/2016 For contest Personification
