You tell Me

A pair of bull frogs woke up one day,
To find they were floatin in a very strange place
Where once there had been swamp, and moss and bog
now were strange lookin lillypads and edible floatin logs
The strange new pond didn’t seem to pose a threat
the water first was cool but soon they got quite used to it
and in fact became comfortable, complacent and just plain pleased
to have a special little pond of their own with all a bullfrog could ever need,
You know one said, I think this ain’t so bad… .
got this warm, clear water and these funny lookin’ lillypads
Got enough to eat …… we’ll soon get used to this
as the water kept getting hotter just a little bit by little bit


Some time went by when suddenly… two more bull frogs appeared
They seemed confused, arrogant too and complained loud for all to hear
You slimy froggy dudes . . thats pretty frogin’ rude . . this waters uncommonly too warm
we suspect, you dumb bloated necks, have been urinating in this here pond
No that’s not it ….. you got it all wrong .
We just keep this pond of ours a little warmer than the norm
Just give it a little while …….. You’ll soon get used to it
as the water kept getting hotter just a little bit by little bit
So they swam and lounged around on some floatin celery stalks
while munchin on some scallions and engaged in Idle Bull Frog talk
Another batch of Bull Frogs splashed down and started freakin out
Croaking that the pond was Hot but the natives still had doubts
The newest frogs tried to jump out to escape the building heat
The Bottom had become too hot to leap cause instantly it would burn their feet
How in the world we supposed to get used to this
with the water getting hotter little bit by little bit
But we got enough to eat… so there’s no need to fret
But the soup had thickened “Hey I didn’t know bull frogs could sweat”
When finally a huge Bull Frog came from nowhere he knew what must be done
”You stupid Frogs’ he lashed out “don’t you know what’s going on”
Their eyes bulged out, and skin just hangin they cried we can’t leave its much too late..
You got that right . .the Old Frog said …. your next place is a Dinner Plate

But I’m not stickin around to get get my frog butt served
so you’ll pardon me while you get used to what you all deserve
So he climbed on top of the closest near cooked frog
and used him to leap as if he was a log…
and was rumored to croak as he flew through the air
Your brain must have been boiled long before you found yourselves in there
So hope you all get used to this
Stupid Frogs ….Dinner’s ready …and you’re the main dish
