Grandpa, Make Like a Frog

Grandpa, Make Like a Frog

By Elton Camp

Grandpa pulled his Caddy into the drive
For his semiannual visit he did arrive

A big mansion was where he resided
Much income his investments provided

“Hey, Grandpa,” Joey did exclaim
The little kid his visit did acclaim

“I want to hear you do it please”
He persisted with words like these

“Do what?” he said after a while
Joey’s face showed a happy smile

“A sound of a frog I want you to make”
“Joey, why that, for goodness sake?”

“Dad says we’ll be rich after you croak”
Joey’s dad, then, very nearly did choke
