The Frog And The Fiddler
The frog kicked the fiddler off her lily pad
For the fiddler monkeyed around and was mad

The fiddler's infidelity was so sad
He couldn't be happy with the hops he had
His dishonor was hard to bare
For the moral here is everywhere
He played, and now his offspring are less a dad

Flo monkeyed around
And finally found
Candid Camera behind the drapes
