Gertrude and Frog

Gertrude
Was Rude

   And Mean
Caused Scene 

 Would Yell
  Raise Hell
    
  She Sat
 With Bat

  In Yard
Like Guard 

One Friend 
 Til’ End
 
   Her Dog
Named Frog

The title really got me curious. It's a humdinger, Alexis! And i'm glad that Gertrude was rude -- instead of lewd or nude! G.L. in the contest. Smiles, Gershon

Lol! Gershon, I guess anyone of those words could have worked! But I settled for rude. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great evening;-) Alexis
