"It's time for a Froggie Adventure--
One to outdo all the rest,
What can we do Special this year
That will surely stand out as the Best?"
Bob says, "Let's get away from the swamp--
And go where we've never been,
A Leap-Frog Troupe to see the world
So beautiful and so Green!"

Sam said, "The world's a big place--
We need to narrow it down,
Just where can we go Extra-Special?
Where shall these 3 Froggies be bound?
I like the idea of verdant fields
To feast our eyes on Green Splendor,
Especially after all the White stuff we've seen
O'er this chilly, cold winter!"

To Flo, it seemed like a light came on--
A lightening flash Idea,
"I've got it,guys!! It just came to me!
You're gonna be proud of me-Yeah!!!
St. Patrick's Day is comming up
So for the Green Holiday, let's plan,
To hitch a ride and celebrate
It in merry old Ireland!"

Bob said, "I'll drink to that!
That idea has quite an appeal,
Yet it sounds awful fantastic--
Just how will we swing this Deal?"
Sam says,"Let's go ask Ol' Ozzie Owl--
I'll bet that he would know!"
"Yes, he'll be able to figure it out,
I'm game, let's go," said Flo.

So merrily they leap-frogged
All the way to Ozzie's tree,
And there they found him napping--
As they expected he'd be.
But in all their excitement--
The wise old owl, they awoke,
"What in the world is all this commotion?
Dear me, did somebody croak?"

The 3 frogs went to laughing
Already this was getting fun,
"Oh Ozzie, could you help us?"
Flo spoke out for everyone.
"We've got a great idea--
But we need your advise, pretty please,
We are planning a Trip of Trips--
And we need your expertise!"

Ozzie heard their exciting idea
And in silence, he thought for a few,
Then he cleared his thought with a "Hoot"
"I think your dream can come true!
But you must devote yourselves to it--
It will take a lot of work on your part,
But if you persue my wise counsel--
You will know the desire of your hearts!"

"Hitch a ride to International Airport--
That under the cover of night,
One of you scope out the flight schedules
So that you know the right flight.
Find the one that leaves about midnight
Ride the luggage cart--then hop aboard.
I know it's not exactly "First Class"
But at least it will be a Concord!"

"Oh thank you, O Wise Mr. Ozzie"
Flo, Bob and Sam, in unison croaked,
"And if they should ask for our Green Cards--
We'll say,'Left'em at home!' they all joked.
They were so pumped up by this visit--
They now knew all would be alright!
If only they could do it immediately--
They all wished to do it that night!

But the time lapse for them was good--
Gave a chance, e'en for a dry run!
And that too, built up their confidence--
Very soon it's "Ireland,Here we come!"
And thus came that fateful night--
They called it "St. Paddy's Day Eve,"
When the 3 undercover "Frogmen"
Knew it was their time to leave.

And the plan worked like a Charm--
In flawless Green perfection, you might say,
Once lifted off, a Baggage Party they had--
Three Cheerful Green Stowaways!
And it didn't seem like any time--
Folks were openeing the doors once again,
And lo, and behold, in Dublin they were--
A "Green Light" for their Adventure to begin!

(Stay tuned-more fun to come!)WB3

This is great, you guys...We needed some greening around here for the wearing of the green! Off to part two...

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

What a perfect day for our little green friends to celebrate! It's nice to see you back.
