Frogs Echo On the Miles

Mosquito populations explode in murky bogs Their larvae swim with tadpoles in this incubation This ugly undertaking commanded by their nature Constant as the day is long and just as distant Marsh water echos soon produces frogs As katydids reverberate through forest wilderness A noise most unpleasant from their leaf like wings Driven to find a mate Frogs dominate the world in summer Devouring every living thing in sight When they are done They know how to cannibalize their young Each tadpole and every frog becomes a meal Mosquitoes beware
