SPECKLE-BLACK TOAD AND FRECKLE-GREEN FROG by GEORGE DARLEY

Subject(s): ANIMALS; FROGS; TOADS;

Speckle-black Toad and freckle-green Frog,
Hopping together from quag to bog;
From pool into puddle Right on they huddle;
Through thick and through thin,
Without tail or fin;
Croakle goes first and Quackle goes after,
Plash in the flood
And plump in the mud,
With slippery heels
Vaulting over the eels,
And mouths to their middles split down with laughter!
Hu! hu! hex!
