A Little Silly Frog-2

There was a little silly frog

he just loved to sprawl on a log

he did have a home sweet home  

it was really a mansion with a dome

but at home he was never at ease

for half the time he was on his knees

he wished to relax but didn’t dare

his wife loved to ceaselessly blare

she would ask him to take a broom

and to quickly sweep every room

and then he had to cook the meal

and she loved only well-cooked veal

he would then run to laundry and store

and keep saying he loved every chore

and if ever the wife felt upbeat

she would let him touch her feet

you would think that she was a bully

but she said she loved him truly

silly frog was scared of her love

and wished she would act like a dove

it was great fun to lie on the log

and not to slave, sweat and slog

but he could never leave his home

and he could rarely wander and roam.
