by Simbo Rumblebelly A cat and a dog, and a little green frog Were sitting atop of a tree The dog gave a bark, and said "It's now dark" "Now what will I have for my tea?" It gnawed on a leaf that tasted of beef Whilst the cat ate a twig with a spoon The frog gave a sigh, and leapt to the sky And stuck out its tongue at the moon The cat sat and purred, whilst watching a bird Which played a small drum with its wings The frog said "How cute!", and pulled out a lute And they all got together to sing They sang of the stars, that shone from afar Until they fell down to Earth in the snow And swept by the breeze, they painted the trees And caused all the apples to grow The cat stopped the song, when a lad came along Who was whistling a tune on the path The dog tried to hide, behind the cat's side But the frog it just gave out a laugh The lad stopped and stared, at the animals there Which danced on their legs and their tails He had a quick think, and then a quick drink From a sack that he held full of ale He then walked away, and was heard to say "I can't really believe what I see!" "A cat and a dog, and a little green frog" "Are sitting atop of that tree!" |
