secret garden

By freespiral

All good frogs should be asleep

Be kind and tender to the Frog,
And do not call him names,
As ‘Slimy skin,’ or ‘Polly-wog,’
Or likewise ‘Ugly James,’
Or ‘Gape-a-grin,’ or ‘Toad-gone-wrong,’   
Or ‘Billy Bandy-knees’:
The Frog is justly sensitive
To epithets like these.
No animal will more repay
A treatment kind and fair;
At least so lonely people say
Who keep a frog (and, by the way,   
They are extremely rare).
Hilaire Belloc


A frog's eye view should he wake up but beware of the heron. Thanks to Marlieske for this week's Mono Monday Challenge.
