Stop digging like some kind of dope I’m not sitting here without hope It’s been quite a slog To train my pet frog But Freddo is bringing a rope He’s like a small, slimey Lone Ranger He’ll rescue a friend or a stranger We had a few words Re frog eating birds But he’s well aware of the danger So why are you getting irate That brave little frog is my mate The passage he’ll take Keeps clear of the lake... And maybe that’s why he’s so late 23 May 2021 Contest: Quitters Never Win Sponsor: Margarita Lillian

Hi Jan. I’ve looked at this contest for weeks and nothing would gel. Today I thought... why choose just the one picture? Mind you, after the hash up of Frankys Party, I’m just glad it’s legible. ;-) Terry
