Open House
some like the
pond scum but
other ones don't
our pond attracted
one of those who
liked but must not
have loved the
mentioned above
property he was
a leopard frog
from a simple
family finally
setting out on
his own and so
finding what
seemed proper
property he set
to chirping all
and everything
about what find
he found
he must have
been thinking
out loud
because his
praises were in
phrases that made
it seem he was
living plush and
yet his songs
we're not enough
to have a bikini
clad cat frog to
join him
but then it
happened
a bullfrog
realized the
jaded eyes of
the lying cat
frog stating
that that
frog was
laying in
wait for
a hapless
mate to take
his bait so
the bullfrog
bullied in and
our pond became
his but this
is not where
the poem ends
because it's
a beginning
for the winner
gets the spoils
so did the horned
cow frog get his
he found no
running water
algae coming
out at the gills
and his fill of
a French cat
that had
a taste for
frog legs
so for all the
leopard frogs
callings were
911 and the
bully bullfrog
has not
croaked a one
single join me
hoping he can
break
the
lease
