FROG-MAKING
|
SAID Frog papa to Frog mamma, "Where is our little daughter?" Said Frog mamma to Frog papa, "She's underneath the water." Then down the anxious father went, And there, indeed, he found her, A-tickling tadpoles, till they kicked Their tails off all around her. |
THE TREE-FROG PEDIGREE
|
OUR great ancestor, Polly Wog, With her cousin, Thaddeus Pole, Eloped from her home in an Irish bog, And crossing the sea on the "Mayflower's" log, At the risk of body and soul, Married a Frog; and thus, you see, How we come by a place in the family-tree And the family name, Tree-frog. |
