Leon the Frog Leon Frog met Missy Toad upon a lily pad. Said Missy Toad to Leon Frog, 'Why DO you LOOK so sad? ' Poor Leon said, 'I'm frightened and I have to hide somewhere. I heard someone mumble 'frog's legs' and I haven't a pair to spare! ' As if that wasn't bad enough, in love, he'd no success... why, the last girl frog he kissed that week became a princess with his kiss. Then poor Leon took a fall right into a barbed wire heap. The wire took poor Leon's leg and a wooden one replaced it, cheap. Leon's back at home now, fake leg strapped to his rump. Listen closely, you will hear Hop-THUMP, Hop-THUMP, Hop-THUMP.

It is a rare poet who can make a tasteful funny about a wooden leg...and better yet, on a frog. But, dear CJ, you can, which proves the immense talent you have.

Oh, no-o-o! She became a princess! If you're a frog, that's a disaster!
Made me chuckle. Thanks.
