Save the frog day #NaPoWriMoDayTwenthSeven

Oh my my
Too many flies
I knew I should stop
But they're a lovely lot
All different flavours
So much to savour
And now my tummy
Regrets the yummy
Next time I'll restrict
The number I pick
I'll be more selective
Perhaps more creative
With more taste
And less haste
But for now
I wonder how
I'll recover
My brother
Oh my my
Too many flies

Xxxxxxx

Today is Save the Frog Day and this is my ode to this wonderful photo of a frog.  Linked up at real toads.

    This reminds me of a saying we have in Spanish: "Estoy mas lleno que un sapo de latrina." Translated it literally means, "I'm more full than a latrine frog." Ha. Ha.

    Love that you left the photo till the bottom. Perfect. One satisfied (overly satisfied) little guy. Cute how you captured its single mindedness of dining...al fresco I imagine ;-O

    This is so cute and a delightful picture to go with it! With all that stuffing on flies the poor frog needs a nap.

    I love your poem and the photo so captures your view...
    I love this line:
    "Now my tummy regrets the yummy"
    Oh, this should be in a children's book ;D

    So much fun o think of a gluttonous frog. Makes me think of Benjamin Franklin though I know not why!
