You amuse me said the giant furry lion king
His molten green eyes had a certain kind of ring
So glad said jester frog, doing a hop, dive and spring.
For he did not totally trust the hungry lion king

And he had been looking at his hopping legs with a zing
He knew what was probably in the mind of that king.
Hop closer said the king, so we can jazz together and sing
But the frog was much wiser, not a dumb ding-a-ling

Hmmm...that frog prized his jumping legs and he did not see them becoming delicious frogs legs for a hungry lion.
