Freddy the flying frog, not


A frog is not a butterfly

but oh if I had wings

I'd squabble with the sparra's

and do amazing things

+

O'er the housetops I would soar

the kids would all point at me

"a bird with a shiny green jacket"

you'd hear them shout with glee.

+
Wind beneath keeping me aloft
over dales and fields and streams
the earth below me, what a view!
hovering, me, fulfilling my dreams.
+
But leaping from my lilypad

is the closest I will get

to that feeling of heady euphoria

so my dreams I had better forget.
