David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Every Frog and Toad

Within every warty frog or toad
that you encounter on the road,
a hidden prince sleeping, lies, 
though his tongue just catches flies; 
and if I can persuade you this, 
I suggest you give me a kiss.

Gershon Wolf September 17, 2025 at 8:00 PM So sorry, but I lent my lips to a forensic specialist yesterday... That's right: DON"T ASK! LOL. David Crandall September 18, 2025 at 3:06 PM LOL!

Kim Rodrigues September 17, 2025 at 6:43 PM LOL! Great replaying of the Frog Prince. Has the princess seen her prince eat… David Crandall September 18, 2025 at 3:05 PM Yeah, I guess not too my princesses would think catching flies with your tongue would be too impressive. :-))

sara Etgen-Baker September 17, 2025 at 5:37 PM laughing...humorous and witty. Perhaps frog kissing should be an Olympic sport ? David Crandall September 17, 2025 at 6:04 PM sounds like a pretty good idea - but would it be based on the number kissed or would it be more like, "I give that one a ten" - :-))

Terry Flood September 17, 2025 at 3:48 PM Dammit… I’ve suddenly remembered that urgent appointment. Honestly… it’s not you… it’s me… ;-) Ha ha… I’ve got me a grin wide as a mile… but you still ain’t getting a kiss! David Crandall September 17, 2025 at 6:03 PM As I think about it, this poem probably doesn't make a really strong argument :-)
