A Silly Little Frog

a silly little frog

was lying on a log

he was sad and glum

he was the unlucky one

he was getting married

but that made him worried

the bride was a bully

and she loved him truly

but the frog was scared

for the bride hadn’t spared

her earlier bride grooms

who were left in the rooms

with some broken legs

and bumps on their heads

the last one got roasted

when he had boasted

that he would beat her

if she did not call him ‘Sir’

the bride lost her cool

she put him on a stool

and looked him in his eyes

everyone heard his cries

but she acted like a dove

for she was in love

with a silly little frog

who was lying on a log

worrying how it would end

for he couldn’t pretend  

that he could  love

a bully acting like a dove.
