No Rewards For This Frog

Living a secret life here on this worldly lily pad in much duress.
       Why is this frog in such distress?
Why does he feel he has too, and who does he want to impress?
       Why can't he be like the other frogs?  But yet he feels less.
He feels when he does what he wants to do, it's a sin.
       And he's so weighed down in his life he can't win.
Yes, and the Bible says that his kind of sin is worse than the other kind.
       Because it is done in the body and it stays on his mind.
Female frogs are numerous and really abound.
       Sometimes having more than one at a time gives more pleasure he has found.
This frog loves multiples and sings his song.
       And this frog has fun and is still going strong.
He knows he should straighten up his life, but doesn't really want too.
       How can he keep his sanity, jump on lily pads and go his life through?
Maybe if he were kissed by a beautiful princess or two?
       But he would want more than two and that just wouldn't do.
So he goes on in this secret world of pleasure,
       Knowing that at the end there will be no treasure.
