Have you ever touched a frog?
They seem so peaceful.
Do you think frogs like being pet?
I’ve heard they keep spiders like we keep cats.
Do you think, gathered at the frogpond,
The frogs pull out their wallets
And coo and croak over tadpole pictures?
Laugh ribbitily at spiders causing trouble?
Boy I hope so.
This is one of my favorite poems from this year. The word “ribbitily”, needs to be in every person’s vocabulary!
