On Kissing Frogs

    II.

    Oh Would you, could you kiss a frog?
    A purple eyed and green horned frog?
    A slimy, grimy blue striped frog,
    With bulging eyes and sticky tongue?

    What if your eyes were bulging too?
    What if your tongue were sticky too?
    Would kissing frogs with bulging eyes
    and sticky tongues be hard to do?

    What if your back had blue stripes too?
    What if your skin were slimy too?
    Would kissing slimy grimy frogs
    with blue stripped backs be hard to do?

    What if your eyes were purple too?
    What if you were a green horned frog?
    Would kissing green horned frogs
    with purple eyes be hard to do?

    Perhaps, as frog, you'd long to kiss
    some purple eyed and green horned frog,
    with and bulging eyes and sticky tongue,
    for he would be your charming prince!
