Want To See Colorful Bullfrogs

In my world toads are brown and frogs are green.
So South America has something I have never seen.
Their frogs are pink, red, yellow, polka dotted and blue.
They have poison frogs. Does this scare you?

Because I want to go down there, so I can see.
Frogs in living color, I think they would delight me.
I do not want a bite from a poison frog though.
Maybe I should stay here, and you should go.

You could take a camera and send me pix.
This is on the level, not one of my selfish tricks.
I am willing to pay twenty-five for your extra bag.
I wish you would do this for me. This is not a gag.

Hmmm...are you paying for the trip? Oh, no. Well, it's wintertime down there!
