optimistic coral youthful polliwog
sat on the verdant fern in the bog
rain dripping off his smooth leaf umbrella
he is such an enterprising fella

As a carefree youth, I did roam,
'til I took this thing home.
'Twas in a puddle by a log -
the devil's polliwog.
To you, I will gladly confess,
it made my life a mess.
It never turned into a frog -
the devil's polliwog.
I'd snap like an old rubber band,
but, on the other hand,
my sink, it will always unclog,
the devil's polliwog.

Oh, the vexing amphibian -
from the Nile or Caribbean.
Is it a toad or a frog,
a tadpole or polliwog,
a newt or salamander,
crocodile, alligander?
Oh, the vexing amphibian -
from the Nile or Caribbean.

This poem is not meant to offend anyone or belittle their beliefs. This is only my attempt at humor.
~Things I’ll Give Up for Lent~
Liver and onions,
Minced meat pie.
Drinking beer from a can,
Celebrating the 5th of July.
I’ll do away with Haggis,
Kiviak and Sheepshead Smalahoue.
Rocky Mountain Oysters,
Escargot and Fuhu.
Escamoles and fried Tarantula,
Jellied Moose and Airag.
Gaeng Kai Mot Daeng,
and baked polliwog.
Chocolate-covered bacon,
Candy corn or a root beer float
Goodbye Goober burgers,
and pickled ear of goat.
Koolickles, popsicles,
Hominy grits and Spam.
Frog’s eye salad and Turducken,
Tapioca and jellied Ham.
But on this Valentine's Day my dear,
know that there is one thing that's very true.
I'd rather give up my chance to go to Heaven,
then spend a single minute without you.

Yoli, woli, polliwog
How do I look to a frog?
To me, he’s green
And I am white
But perhaps to him
It's the oppo-sight

A fox was a kit and a dog was once a puppy.
Don’t throw a fit, but a fish was never a guppy.
A horse was a colt. And a hen was always a chick.
How about banana split’s scoop, could we call it a lick?
A butterfly was a caterpillar,
A green spotted frog was a polliwog.
A child was a well-loved neonate,
Piglet was once the name of a giant hog.
Fawn instantly tells you something of his age,
Pony is not an indicator at all.
Lamb gives you a wonderful clue so sage.
Animals are delightful to me, big and small.
