The lazy frog


Fred is a very lazy frog 

Who lolls all day upon a log.


The lazy frog

 

He always manages to shirk

 Doing a single stroke of work

 His poor old mother calls in vain

 Come in and help!" he does not bother 

To move two inches, much preferring 

To be extremely hard-of-hearing

 He lies there in a silent heap. 

And stays conveniently asleep.

 If a lady frog hops past 

You'd think he would get up at last

To bow, and help her on her way?

 But no, I am ashamed to say 

That when a lady frog comes by

 He does not open up one eye!
