The Fiddler and the Frog

'Fiddle dee dee' sang the fiddler
As he fiddled with his frog
Something sounded off 
He was barking like a dog 

He tuned his fiddle up again 
And drew the bow o'er the strings 
And lo! A harmonious sound 
Came from the wretched thing 

So the problem had to be his voice 
He couldn't seem to sing a note 
But then that's very difficult 
When a frog is in your throat! 




Note. 

*Frog.Where the bow strings join into the lower end of the bow of a stringed instrument
