The Famous Frog

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the famous frog jumped in a pond... splashed the water... washed the lilly pads... the famous frog jumped in a pond... splashed the water... dawn silence... broken the famous frog jumped in a pond... splashed the water... swallows quenched their thirst the gulls swoop... searching the Blackpool seaside shoreline... guard your fish and chips ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
