straight out of the fifties

This frog is straight out of the fifties
How can you tell?
He is a beatnik.
How so?
He plays bongo drums.

He has a lava lamp.
I think they were from the sixties.
And fringed vest jacket.
The seventies, honey

We stared at each other.
How old do you think this frog is?
Unsure, but he is dancing under a disco ball.
Eighties I think.

A well-rounded frog if you ask me.
