IT’S A FROG'S LIFE

Lily Pond Theater was overflowing with frogs,

It looked like a sea of green.

They were there to see “It’s A Frog's Life,”

On the theater’s silver screen.

Every frog stopped at the snack bar,

And got drinks in frog shaped mugs.

And every frog ordered a big bucket,

Of fresh, hot, and buttered bugs.

With drinks and snacks in hand,

Each frog hopped on a lily pad seat.

They made themselves comfortable,

And stretched out their froggy feet.

When the theater lights were dimmed,

Not a spring peeper was heard.

The tree frogs grew silent,

Not even a bullfrog’s croak occurred.

As the movie started playing,

Even the tadpoles quit fidgeting.

All eyes were on the screen,

Because “It’s A Frog's Life” was ribbitting.
