sweaty candy frog 
    sunbathes on popsicle stick
    clings to cotton blouse

Paul Callus

March 14, 2018 at 3:03 PM

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

Viv Wigley

March 14, 2018 at 8:36 PM

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

Viv Wigley

Judging by the local sweet shop near the school, virtually extinct, Gershon. Thanks for dropping by. Regards, Viv
