The Bouncing Frog

A playfull somewhat child like piece wrote on a spring day watching a frog bounce it’s way around the garden. This piece talks as if the frog can speak and tell you why it bounces around so energetically.

There is frog in my house bouncing away.
It’s bouncing along throughout the day.
Mr Frog what are you doing bouncing please tell me do say.

The frog pauses for a moment spins around and says,
I’m learning to bounce in all manner of ways,
I bounce this way ad that for days and days.

Have you got nothing else better to do,
Than bounce around my old worn out shoe,
Does this make you happy or sometimes blue?

The frog pauses for a moment spins around and says,
I’m learning to bounce in all manner of ways,
I bounce this way ad that for days and days.

Tell me frog is it easy to perform,
I see you bounce all over my lawn,
Is this something you knew from when you were born?

The frog pauses for a moment spins around and says,
I’m learning to bounce in all manner of ways,
I bounce this way ad that for days and days.

Mr Frog I’ll bid you farewell,
Those secrets you could package and sell,
Maybe one day you’ll teach me and I’ll in turn will tell.

The frog pauses for a moment spins around and says,
Anyone can learn these bouncing ways,
When you know you’ll bounce for days and days and days.
