There I was sitting in the rain
All around me everything swampy and damp
I sat under the blanket of the star studded sky
Shining oh so bright and brilliant
So entranced was I in admiring this blissful view
That I lost sight of the earth below
I slowly followed the fireflies dancing down moonbeams
As they reflected off the water puddles
Then I heard a strange croaking noise prevailing the air
As I paid closer attention, it struck me
That some unidentified creature was frolicking around
Jumping and serenading the stars above
I looked very carefully at the creature then
It was a cute little frog jumping around toadstools red
I stared curiously at him and
In return, he stared back at me intensely
That's when I realized the frog was mesmerized
All of a sudden a fly just buzzed by
And without my knowledge
My tongue unfurled
Snapped it up, and swallowed it whole
Astonished I looked back down into the puddle before me
And observed myself in disbelief
I now looked just like the frog!
