Bull wanted to join in the chorus of frogs
to welcome the coming of Spring,
but as he explained to his army of friends,
“I sound like a toad when I sing!”
“As much as I’ve practiced for weeks in my pond,
you’d think I’d have mastered the skills,
but all I’ve accomplished is losing some weight
by frightening flies with my trills.”
“You can’t be that awful,” said Speckle to Bull.
“It’s not like we’re getting reviewed.
And adding your voice, like our land-loving kin,
won’t start an amphibian feud!”
“Believe me; I’ve listened, but thanks all the same.
I’ll carry the beat with a clap.
and if you insist I’m a part of the show,
I’ll add in a verse with a Rap.”
