I was thinking maybe a poem about frog legs tasting like chicken might work...what everyone think?

Little froggy used to jump so high,
Shame poor froggy had to die,
But froggy's legs are a treat,
And I'm hungry and have to eat.

Little froggy met his fate,
Now his legs are on a plate,
Tastes so good they're finger lickin'
Froggy's legs taste like chicken.

Curiously, an English teacher at my high school had a poem about a frog published...

Since you asked, I think your effort is inappropriate and not funny. Especially since the aim of the sponsoring group is to save and preserve frogs.

Not a good one Alan, not a good one.

I can assure you Miss Moth that no amphibians, or anything else for that matter, were harmed during the making of that poem...and I'll definitely not be sending that one in...

Perhaps a poem about an aging frog with a penchant for country blues would be more to your liking?

This thread brings back memories.

I wrote a piece on saving frogs for an enviroment themed competition on the red site. For some reason the judges never responded to Pond Life - but it's publication became the defining moment for me as an author.

Pond Life was the first step on the creative journey that led me to storiesspace.

So there.

Or publish it on here - a more appropriate home perhaps.

Oh yeah, thanks...it's all coming back to me...and yeah, that story will also be officially published in a couple of weeks as well...

When I say "officially" published, I mean in a publication recognized by Poets & Writers Magazine...and they're sticklers btw...
