Croak, Or Croak? ….. [definitions-Different; Semi-Limericky; Short; Inspired By And Dedicated To Valsa George And Her Poem: "Limerick- 72.When The Enemies Met"; Frog And Snake]

Rating: 4.0


Frog spoke in "croak" [noun, not verb].
He simply said: "Don't disturb."
On his way to town,
Snake swallowed him down;
the Frog did "croak" [this time verb].

[NOT the croak that is a sound;
This "croak" leads (some) ….underground.]

At last it's not come out as a Not Found. Hooray. And a very funny poem too, Bri.

How quickly a 'croak transformed into a 'croak'! !

I am worried, Bri, that you now believe frogs can speak and you can translate what they say into English. Next you'll be translating frog talk into Servo-Croatian, Tibetan, and Hindustani! You must rest more, eat some ice cream, watch the sunset over the Pacific... perhaps relate your anxieties to a sympathetic medical professional. (Still, a very clever and witty poetic introduction to the animal kingdom!) By the way, did you know I had a dog that knew how to play chess? He was really a stupid dog, though... I used to beat him 8 out of 10 games.
