Terry Flood Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

The Frog Croaked

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

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
