The Madness of Frogs
Someone implied that frogs are mad,
but if that’s true I think it’s sad,
although as far as I can see
it’s true they jump quite aimlessly.
So just between both you and me
I thought that I would try to see
whether the claim is really true
that frogs just don’t know what they do.
I sat beside my garden pool
to find a frog I thought a fool.
Then one came out and smiled at me
their mouths are very wide you see.
“Are you mad” I asked of him.
“Maybe perhaps a little dim?”
But he just sat and looked at me,
regarded me quite silently.
I then recalled what Mum had said
and I bent down and kissed his head.
A puff of smoke, a flash of light,
a handsome prince was now in sight.
"Oh Sire" I said "if you don’t mind,
indeed I ask you to be kind,
and speak to me quite openly
about your known insanity."
He scratched his head and thought a bit
and then he spoke these words of wit,
“If you see me then I am glad
it isn’t me, but you, that’s mad!”
