The Frog, by Hilaire Belloc

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).

    About Me: To burn always with this hard, gem-like flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life. - Walter Pater
