The Frog
by Hilaire Belloc
Be kind and tender to the Frog,
And do not call him names,
As "Slimy-skin," or "Pollywog,"
Or likewise "Uncle James,"
Or "Gape'a'grin," or "Toad'gone'wrong,"
Or "Billy -Bandy Knees":
The frog is justly sensitive
To epithets like these.
No animal will more repay
A treatment kind and fair,
At least so lonely people say
Who keep a frog (and by the way,
They are extremely rare) .
