There's a poem about two frogs that get caught in a bucket. One dies, while the other keeps trying to get out. The last line is "One more churn can make the butter", I think. Where can I find it?!

Is this it?

I found this on the Internet:

Two Frogs In Cream

Two frogs fell into a can of cream,

Or so I've heard it told;

The sides of the can were shiny and steep.

The cream was deep and cold.

"O, what's the use?" croaked No. 1.

"Tis fate; no help's around.

Goodbye, my friends! Goodbye, sad world!"

And weeping still, he drowned.

But Number 2, of sterner stuff,

Dog-paddled in surprise,

The while he wiped his creamy face

And dried his creamy eyes.

"I'll swim awhile, at least," he said-

Or so I've heard he said;

"It really wouldn't help the world

If one more frog were dead."

An hour or two he kicked and swam,

Not once he stopped to mutter,

But kicked and kicked and swam and kicked.

Then hopped out, via butter!

TWO FROGS

TWO FROGS FELL INTO A DEEP CREAM BOWL,
ONE WAS AN OPTIMISTIC SOUL,
BUT THE OTHER TOOK A GLOOMY VIEW,
WE SHALL DROWN HE CRIED, WITHOUT MORE ADO!

SO WITH A LAST DESPAIRING CRY,
HE FLUNG UP HIS LEGS AND SAID " GOODBYE"

SAID THE FROG WITH A MERRY GRIN,
I CAN'T GET OUT, BUT I WON'T GIVE IN,
I'LL JUST SWIM AROUND TILL MY STRENGTH IS SPENT,
THEN I WILL DIE THE MORE CONTENT.

BRAVELY HE SWAM TILL IT DID SEEM,
HIS STRUGGLING BEGAN TO CHURN THE CREAM,
ON TOP OF THE BUTTER AT LAST HE STEPPED,
AND OUT OF THE BOWL AT LAST HE LEAPT.

WHAT OF THE MORAL? TIS EASILY FOUND,
`IF YOU CAN'T GET OUT… KEEP SWIMMING AROUND!!!!!!
