Where once were frogs
from pollywogs
who's throats would ring
in the splash of spring,
We've dumped our trash
to save some cash
and buried deep
every croak and peep.

Quite a whimsical write! Sadly true,
however, the "croaks and peeps" manage
to re-emerge elsewhere. Hardy little creatures, aren't they?

'Tiz feathers that make the bird -
Always remember to keep them fluffed
but, never, EVER ruffle them!

hmmm..well I added a pond to my yard but sometimes those frogs leave and forget where their home is ...either that or they find a better one.

A sad thing to see happening, that's true!
