the poem pond: poems by frogs, for frogs


public service announcements for frogs

In your travels, you may find
a creepy critter, in a bind:

They'll say, "this river has me at a loss,
would you help me swim across?"

Wiser frogs have fallen victim here,
so listen to my warning clear:

The pincers (2) are your first sign,
the stinging tail not far beind--

This scam has sunken many prey,
don't let that be your fate today!
