Animal Friends

There once was a hog and a big old dog,
Who made friends with a frog on a log,
T'was a wonderful sight,
On a moonlit night,
A dog and a hog on a log with a frog!

Written for contest depicting children's Limericks.

This is fun and cute, Robert.:) T'would be "a wonderful sight", and possibly a clamorous choir. What they might lack in harmony, could be made up by their diligent accord? Can imagine this, but would love more to see this. Best to you, Mikki
