Frog On A Log


There once was a frog
who sat on a log
waiting  so patiently
for a fly to come along.

A fly came along,
sat on the log but it
ingored the frog
sitting on the log.

The lumberjacks
came and they took
the log from the frog
who sat waiting for
a fly to come along.

Poor little frog
lost its log
and as for
the fly who
ingored the frog....
it flew away.

That's life for a frog on a log in a bog. Oh, well, at least the flies had a reprise!

Sending you a big hug and a jar full of fishing flies ~ without the barbs!

Loving Light & huggums,
Linda

LOL, that frog sure had a bad day, losing both the log and the fly. You just reminded me of one I wrote about a frog on a log, but in mine, a dog came and sat on the log by the frog in the bog, until a huge hog happened to splash by and tipped them both into the bog. have a great week, froggy

Wonderful light relief, froggy.  Perhaps we are all frogs on a log waiting for something to come along in between the going and the getting.

I just have to share this one with you. It is a poem about Scmuck Luck. It's as silly as your frog on a log in the bog with that silly ole fly.

This is a tragedy I can relate to.

Well written!

Poor frog. At least he had the fly's company for a while; even if it ignored him, it was there.  Sigh.
