Croaky Frog and Furry Rat - Nursery Rhyme

In the slushy bog, lived one speckled frog
He loved to have fun and didn’t wish to slog
Croaky Frog was his dear name
To travel and enjoy life was his aim
 
One day he set out, wearing his hat
On the way he met a furry rat
He asked- “Hey rat, will you come with me
Lovely scenes are there for us to see”

The rat replied- “Yes, I shall come with you
I too like the beautiful sights to view”
Soon they saw a tabby cat on their way
Rat ran in fear and hid behind some hay

Croaky, instantly jumped into a well
Seeing a snake in, he began to yell

“Save me, save me” cried the desperate frog
The evening was veiled with thick fog
Billy goat and friends were grazing around
They heard from the well a desperate sound

In minutes, they arrived and saved the frog
Thanking his friends, the frog fled to his bog

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 NIV These tabby cats are everywhere working with the snake , but there is a friend which is there to save us from them, with a call out : ) , love your poem my dear friend, May Jesus free many from this evil cat and snake : )
