The Fiddler and the Frog

Listen to poem:

There once was a fiddler from Fartsie Oh Midler 
who played in the park with a naturous tether      
a one legged man 
by a river of tan 
with one gimpy leg that sat still as a peg, oh what a sin    
He finished his gin then he sat with a grin   
just as ready as old Dr. Quin; 


In this grassy remote where the frogs like to gloat   
they were never content when the rivers did bloat       
one frog hid in rent      
without a red cent         
in a fiddle the size of a broom no bigger than, an over sized spoon;    

There once was a clever who had an endeavor
to never reveal his God send  
together they played from morning to noon 
while jointly they made their amends.

Marikate Kingston Date: 1/21/2023 12:15:00 PM This is just so darn clever and fun to read!!!! I close my eyes and I can hear the frogs early in the evening, "gloating" in your funny poem. I used to spend the summers on a lake in the Adirondack mountains and come the late afternoon, that was one of my favorite sounds. Your poem made me giggle. :) Login to Reply
