The Frog & Toad
There was a young frog
Who fell in love with a toad
He spotted one morning
By the side of the road
My names Freddie
He casually said
But she didn’t reply
Rolling her eyes instead
Undeterred, he smiled
Requesting with glee
Her company
For afternoon tea
The toad shrugged her shoulders
Having nothing to say
Much to the smitten frog’s
Utter dismay
But Freddie wasn’t ready
To simply give in
Countering her coolness
With a gormless grin
What’s your name?
He nervously muttered
It’s Angel
She softly uttered
Wow, that’s beautiful
Freddie gushed
Turning crimson
Angel blushed
All of a sudden
This confident guy
Felt all at sea
And frightfully shy
Mustering all his courage
Freddie gave it one last try
Putting his heart on the line
In hope of a positive reply
We could hop to the beach
And lounge in the sun
But Angel shook her head
At the mention of such fun
Freddie was distraught
And exasperated too
There must be something
Angel wants to do
I know said Freddie
What about the fair
Hop on my back
I’ll take you there
Heartbreakingly
No reaction
A flustered Freddie
Can’t get no satisfaction
Pizza, Cinema
Maybe a boat ride
Scrabble, Monopoly
My goodness, he tried
Angel he pleaded
Is there anywhere you want to go
She pointed to the sky and said
Take me over the rainbow
Freddie gulped
But couldn’t say no
So off they hopped
Chasing down the rainbow
Through lush green valleys
Over meandering streams
Went Angel and Freddie
In search of their dreams
It was wild and exciting
Not knowing what they’d find
On fire with freedom
And adventure in mind
They chased it all day
With boundless vigour
But it never got nearer
Or appeared any bigger
Eventually they stopped and took a moment
To admire the beauty they stood under
Holding hands, they looked up
Marvelling at its wonder
Then all of a sudden
To their dismay and surprise
The rainbow faded away
Right in front of their eyes
Fearing he had let Angel down
Freddie dropped his head and cried
It doesn’t matter that we didn’t get there
Said Angel, I just love it that you tried
Then she leant over to Freddie
Imparting the softest kiss
His heart swelled with love
Life doesn’t get more beautiful than this
Freddie has found his forever
At the end of the rainbow
Regardless of what life throws
He’ll never let her go
Life can be wonderful
It has to be said
This morning Freddie was all alone
Now he’s loving Angel instead.
