The Frog Strangler
The Frog Strangler
(Idiom for a torrential rain)
Miracle Man
5/2/2022
With little variant, rain came straight down,
winds whisper was so faint it couldn’t be heard.
Bar ditches, now so full of water a frog could drown,
but by this rain my spirit remains undeterred.
Though frogs are amphibians much unlike a toad,
the old story has it that they do often strangle.
Yet I find no remains where high water has flowed,
just another mystery for my mind to untangle.
In our 2 acre yard, low spots, “like ponds” stand full,
when will someone be able to cut the grass once more.
Our rain gauge now appears to be nearing brimful,
thoughts exit strangling frogs for a mowing chore.
