Give me for a pet a friendly frog
Not for me a yapping dog
No purring cat or hissing mog
Porky pig or snorting hog
From Zanzibar to the Carribean
For Frenchman, German and Namibian
English, Scottish, Turk or Libyan
There's no pet quite like this amphibian
No referendums, good or bad polls
Plebiscites by glad or sad Poles
Or any of those latest fad polls
Will come between me and my tadpoles
Give me a frog for my abode
The Natterjack's quite a la mode
But I could never write an ode
To a toad.

The toad only knows how to crawl,
He pulls no other strokes at all;
Which makes it difficult for the toad,
When he has to cross the road.
Once a year toads return home
To mate and spawn by the load.
(if it wasn't for the road)
Or to be more exact,
The cars that compact.
If it takes the poor old toad.
Ten minutes to cross the road
It doesn't take a statistician
To work out, it's a suicide mission.
Nothing could rival
Toad's sense of survival,
Toady does what comes naturally:
He doesn't look right,
He doesn't look left,
And if it's all clear (or not),
He doesn't bother a jot,
He just crawls out into the road;
And sooner or later, splat!
That's that,
Toad's flat . . .
It's the Code
Of The Highway Toad!

Ode To A Frog, by Tish P :o)
I started as a tadpole
Wriggling in a pool,
I sprouted legs and lost my tail,
That was pretty cool!
I spend my days on a lilly pad
Basking in the sun
And when I get a bit peckish
I catch juicy flies with my tongue.
One day I'll find another frog
To set up a poolside home
We'll catch the flies together
And have frogspawn of our own.

Oh how lovely a shade of green,
Is the Frog Prince but a dream?
'Twas a crown upon your forehead,
Now lies frog legs in a lettuce bed,
Fear not a future with gravy and rice,
As a lily pad for two would be so nice!
=)
Ribbit!

Disclamier: This parody is ment to honour in humor my hero, the National Bard. I would ne'er gie disrespect tae Rabbie Burns.
********************************************************************
Wee slick timid beast
O, what panic's in thy breastie
Thou need na start awa sae hasty
Wi bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murdering cane rod.
I'm truly sorry fisherman's dominion
Has broken Nature's social union,
An' justifies that ill opinion
Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor, earth born companion
An' fellow mortal!
I doubt na, whyles, but thou may eat midges;
What then? poor beastie, thou maun live!
A daimen icker in a thrave
'S a sma' request;
I'll get a blessin wi' none lave,
An' never miss't.
Thy wee-bit lilypad, too, in ruin!
It's silly root the win's are strewin!
An' naetime, now, to grew a new ane,
O' foggage green!
An' bleak December's win's ensuin,
Just go sleep now burried in the muck!
But Froggie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o' frogs an' men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!
Still you are blest, compared with me!
The present only touches you:
But oh! I backward cast my eye,
On prospects mucky!
And forward, though I cannot see,
I guess you'll be doon there!

I cant claim ownership to this little ditty. I remember it from a book called 'oh how silly' when I was a kid. Enjoy.
A froggie sat on a lilly pad
Lookin up at the sky.
The pad broke
The frog fell in
He got water all in his eye. lol.

There was once a frog
The frog sat on a log
When he got cold
He became very bold.
One day he was seen by a bear
You know the rest....
Oh dear.

Are you a frog or toad
That I see walking up the road?
I wish that I had all your warts
Then I could get out of doing sports.
Quick enough???

Once I found a little frog,
dancing by the river.
I picked him up by his legs,
and ate his little liver.
I thought it tasted very good,
and I wanted more.
Then I saw an even bigger frog,
hopping out the door.
I picked the little sucker up.
and held him by his thighs.
I looked him a moment,
Then I ate those froggy eyes.
I tore the eyes out with my teeth,
I chewed them up real good.
I'd eat a million little frogs,
Yes, yes I would
Actually I wouldn't but I thought this was funny.

Oh froggie, I adore your green skin
Shining like emeralds in the sun
And the splash as you dive into the pond
You can swim better than James Bond
Hanging onto a submarine
With your powerful legs and aquamarine
Agility, like like dragonflies,
But I am French,
And your demise
Is certain...
I will eat your legs with au gratin.
AWOL
Well, thats what happens when I try to use my brain at this time in the morning!!
