sweaty candy frog 
    sunbathes on popsicle stick
    clings to cotton blouse

Thanks Andrea, to be honest I was struggling to think of something really froggy :) x

Very creative, Viv! Your mind is always a step ahead:) Candy apart....once we used to buy small metal frogs which had some kind of spring underneath them that helped them jump after a few seconds of being placed firmly on the ground. Regards // paul

Yes Paul, I remember those, they had a suction cup to provide that delay. Simple pleasures, eh? Thanks for dropping by. Regards, Viv

Love this "anti-nature" take, Viv. We've got to stick up for sticky, sweaty candy frogs. I imagine they're an endangered species by now...LOL! Great write! Best wishes, Gershon
