THE FROG lyrics
based on a haiku by Basho and a poem by Marianne Moore

a frog
a pond
a plop
a frog
a pond
a plop
is it a real frog
is it a real pond
is it a real stop

does it make a sound
if no one's in the forest
is it a real frog
if no one ever saw it

has the garden flowers
if no one ever sees them
the sun has all the power
everything needs him

frog frog froggie
with a pistol and a sword
frog frog froggie
riding to the Lord

croak croak croak
are the words he spoke
croak croak croak
this is not a joke

a frog
a pond
a plop
a frog
a pond
a plop
is it a real frog
is it a real pond
is it a real stop

the garden is imaginary
and so is the sky
the mist arises garden fairies
real and so am I

the frog he does a sort of laughing
doesn't give a damn
and I am laughing with him
becoming what I am

a frog
a pond
a plop
a frog
a pond
a plop
is it real
is it real
is it

I really like these lyrics. You can read all kinds of things into them. With a catchy tune, certainly would be a hit

Borderlands of the Spirit by John Herlihy

In today’s secular environment the two worlds of science and spirituality are alien worlds, distinguished primarily by a deep-seated antagonism in which the principles of spirituality and the pragmatism of modern science exist face to face in a peren
