A Bit of a Ribbit
A bit of a ribbit
breaks out on the pond:
the frogs start to sing
and the big toads respond.
They trill and they bleat
and they croak and they creak,
they plunk and they plink
and they grunt and they squeak.
The night fills with music:
a concert unplanned
by a sound-blooming, grooving
amphibian band.
