Do Frogs Wear Froggie Dentures

Remember back when you were a kid Every day was a wonderful adventure Exciting things to explore and investigate Do frogs have pearly white dentures Or why do elephants weigh so much Weight Watchers might do them some good What about a nasty old lion's bad temper Did they not have a loving childhood So many questions, I'm full of questions Like why are most horses so nice They never get upset when a bridle's put on But heard one kicked a man twice Then there's the sweet old teddy bear Some have vowed they've never heard 'em talk I got news for all you doubting Thomases Sometimes they even go for a walk Found some hootch down in the basement Twenty year old brandy I suspect When I sober up and read what I wrote Might swear off the booze by heck © Jack Ellison 2014

Grandpa Troll has the answer to all those questions... You just need to offer to share the bottle with him... I sat down to write with a nice cup of eegnog the other day and found he'd spiked it... Oh well. My poem 'Dragon Santa' turned out OK... in spite of his tricks... He offered to spike my egg nog again if I'd write a 'Grandpa Troll Santa'! Silly Troll! He'll have to write his own... As the old saying goes... Tipsey once... shame on me... Tipsey twice ... and I'll send Dragon after you! LOL
