Notes About The Poem

The Frog Lunch

On the twig sat the little frog
hungry as a great big hog.
His eyes looked to the east
there he saw the fly, a feast.
He stuck out his tongue
the feasting had begun.
Later on the blade of grass
there was a slug at last,
his appetite was still brewing
his want of more was stewing.
Then from his wandering eye
there was swarm of flies near by.
Once again, he reached out his tongue
and the eating of the masses begun.

Amazing how those frogs can handle so many insects a day and help keep the population down. Those tree frogs are kind of noisy at night. LOL..Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K..soupmail soon
