Soooooo let me get this right, Wend. If I make my bed up all nice and alluring, soft lights, sweet music, if I am very lucky I shall be plagued with an avalanche of YOUR frogs leaping and dancing all over my best cream duvet? *sobs...how frightful! :-D :-D :-D

Wend

Wend Report 29 Feb 2012 22:36

Ah, shucks, BC, have you NO sense of gentility ;-)

What I am saying is - they wouldn't be there if it wasn't for me, because I have created the right environment for them to do what comes naturally. (Sharron obviously hasn't!)

I'm sure there are (were) days when you make (made) your bed to look welcoming and alluring, with soft lights and a spray of perfume here and there, etc. You just do (did) it all year round . . . . .

:-D <3

We don't really get frogs here.

A mile up the road, well that's a different matter. Same with grass snakes. I have never seen one but down the road at the football field they are in the long grass.

I think it must be something to do with the historical position of the harbour.

Wend Report 29 Feb 2012 22:14

I love seeing the frogs in my pond having a good time ;-)

I feel proud that I have created something with my own hand that is a haven for wildlife to have such fun, romance and happiness.

Oooh, I can feel another poem coming on . . . . . <3

Spring is definitely in the air :-D

Where he had been many times before, mmm-hmmm.

"Missy Mouse, are you within?" mmm-hmmm.

Took Missy Mouse upon his knee, mmm-hmmm.

For Rita :-D



A frog he would a-wooing go,
Hey ho, says Rowley,
A frog he would a-wooing go,
Whether his mother would let him or no.
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinich,
Hey ho, says Anthony Rowley.
So of he set with his opera hat,
Hey ho, says Rowley,
So of he set with his opera hat,
And on the road he met with a rat
With a rowley, etc.
Pray Mr Rat, will you go with me?
Hey ho, says Rowley,
Pray, Mr Rat, will you go with me,
With a rowley, etc.
They came to the door of Mousey’s hall,
Hey ho, says Rowley,
They gave a loud knock, and they gave a loud call.
With a rowley, etc.
Pray Mrs Mouse, are you within?
Hey ho, says Rowley,
Oh yes, kind sirs, I’m sitting to spin.
With a rowley, etc.
Pray, Mrs Mouse, will you give us some beer?
Hey ho, says Rowley,
For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer.
With a rowley, etc.
Pray, Mr Frog, will you give us a song?
Hey ho, says Rowley,
Let it be something that’s not very long.
With a rowley, etc.
Indeed, Mrs Mouse, replied Mr Frog,
Hey ho, says Rowley,
A cold has made me as hoarse as a dog.
With a rowley, etc.
Since you have a cold, Mr Frog, Mousey said,
Hey ho, says Rowley,
I’ll sing you a song that I have just made.
With a rowley, etc.
But while they were all a-merry-making
Hey ho, says Rowley,
A cat and her kittens came tumbling in.
With a rowley, etc.
The cat she seized the rat by the crown,
Hey ho, says Rowley,
The kittens they pulled the little mouse down.
With a rowley, etc.
This put Mr Frog in a terrible fright,
Hey ho, says Rowley,
He took up his hat and wished them goodnight.
With a rowley, etc.
But as Froggy was crossing over a brook,
Hey ho, says Rowley,
A lily-white duck came and gobbled him up.
With a rowley, etc.
So there was the end of one, two, three,
Hey ho, says Rowley,
The rat, the mouse, and the little frog-ee.
With a rowley, etc.
