Heron and frog

This is not your “owl and Pussycat” kind of poem...a bit more realistic.😝

 

A LITTLE ROMANCE by Peter Newell, 1883

 

It was a Frog and Heron fair

One evening chanced to meet,

The bird had brought her bill along,

And Froggie’d brought his feet.

 

And since they neither one could speak

The tongue the other knew,

They could not well converse at all,

And so the Heron blew

 

A pretty tune upon her bill,

While Froggie danced with glee.

He understood her music sweet,

His merry tripping she.

 

Full soon they fell in love, and ere

The rising of the sun

The Heron gobbled Froggie up,

And now the two are one.
