I see a frog on the ground.
I bent down to pick it up.
It looks so cool with its spots.
Then it went and peed on me.
I dropped it to the ground.
I was so mad I tried to step on it.
But it hopped off into a pond.
--
I waited there for hours,
for it to come out again.
But I was getting so tired,
and I thought it slipped away.
Finally, I saw it jumping.
On the other side of the pond.
--
I ran over there to get it.
Because I was still so upset.
I hit it with a big stick and
it fell over with a groak.
I picked it up by its leg,
and I threw it to the dog.
--
The dog started tearing it up.
He spread it all over the place.
Then he picked up what's left of it,
and dug a hole in the ground.
He dropped that torn up frog
in the hole and covered it all up.
--
I hope other frogs learned a lesson,
and they will never do it again.
If we have to kill too many frogs,
we might have a Frog Cemetery.
Then the ghosts of the frogs,
would be hopping mad at me.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
