Snarly Frog Named Jade
Once upon a time there was a particularly snarly frog named Jade.
She was fond of juices, especially fruity ones like pink lemonade.
Her brother was annoying, she kind of wanted to make a trade.
He called her names. The most annoying was Trixie Marmalade.
She met a man who was from the deepest everglade.
He was stoic and straight, and had an attitude staid.
She met him under a dripping tree that gave much shade.
He took her brother Cade to him, and she quickly paid.
Her father asked her where is your little brother Cade?
He needed him to help him in a swamp, they would have to wade.
Jade was horrified, and lied through her teeth, a total evade.
But she was found out, thanks to a busybody who was the downstairs maid.
The father rescued Cade that day from that evil frog, Jade.
Jade got her comeuppance and was put away in the dark shade.
I have to say I was smug and decided to stay where I used to wade.
For I am Cade, her brother who can now bray he is drinking all the lemonade.
