Mr. Frog

Oh! Mr. Frog, how grumpy you are
Because on the pond lily, you have to hop
But if you looked past your green nose, you'd care
And see just how lucky it you got
When I say 'green nose', I mean, green with envy
You have to hop on lily pads, so what?
Be glad you aren't an insect, who has to drink human blood, when thirsty
And sure, that fawn is a looker, and has a nice strut
But a hunter shoots it, when he is hungry
And be glad you aren't a bear, in winter, who has to sleep in snow
So you see, Mr. Frog, there's always someone
Who is worse off than you, and having less fun
And who knows, perhaps they even envy you?
So just live the best life you can
And be the best version of you.
