THE VILLAGE FROG.
[
The big old bullfrog squats;
His greenish hide ls thick b Jlngs,
With warts, and Jumps and knots,
And when he swells himself and sings
His voice is rough IN spots
His thighs are thick. and big, and strong;
Yet he ENJOYS his ease,
And when the echoes or MS song
Are borne upon the breeze
His normal slope. unless I'm wrong,
Is forty-nve degrees
Week in. week out. from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him sound his gong all right
With measured beat and slow,
Like a bruiser spelling for night
When there isn't any foe.
On SUNDAYS come the village boys,
With fishing poles, red rags,
And sticks and stones; and then his voice
Mysteriously lags.
He hides hlmself-he has no cholce-
Down deep amid the hags
souatting. hiding. believing,
onward through life he goes.
He eats little. tries 10 sing,
And MARBLES through his nose.
He doesn't have TO do a thing
To earn a nights repose.
Thanks. thanks 10 thee my warty friend
For the lessen thou hast taught,
Thus In the great frogpond or lie,
our fortunes must be wrought,
There's nothing else on earth 10 do
But keep from getting caught!
