Leap Frog - Poem

 
Leap Frog

 

Said one frog to another

   Let’s travel cross this field together

Croak, leap past rock, then hold

   Does not matter fast or slow        

 

Again the first said to the other     

   Now crouch down then I’ll leap over

Said the second to the first

   Then I’ll jump while you’re at rest

 

Bounding past each obstacle

   Fitful journey, loose control

Tail to head and head to toe

   Over, under, through they go

 

Eventually field’s grass edge they find

   O’er gravel, now pond on lily wind

Each companion to the other

   Joyful leaping life together
