The Frogs are always greener

On a blistering hot day - he mused.

‘It’s true what they say
the lilies are greener at this time of day.
Not like the ones round here - all sterile and grey’
as he hopped off his leaf

and made his way to the other side of the pond -
frog-stroking quite stylishly all of the way -
to where a dream-frog was resting
in the heat of the day.

 ‘Great legs,’ she swooned
‘but what brings you here?’ And -
‘why hop onto my leaf my long legged dear?’
‘I was thinking’, he said -

‘about your side of town.
The lilies are greener, than where I live now.
Where most of the frogs, my side of the pond
are much like the leaves. All dingy and done!

SO BORING!’ He croaked (in sheer desperation).
‘A creature like me, needs more stimulation -
than minnows, mosquitoes -
it needs: EXCITATION!

And you - you sweet thing - have attracted the eye
of this charming young frog who came swimmingly by
to ask how you are -
in my charming-frog way

and -

do you always bathe topless at this time of day?’
