I'm sticking with the amphibian theme for one more post.
And do not call him names,
As "Slimy skin," or "Polly-wog,"
Or likewise "Ugly James,"
Or "Gap-a-grin," or "Toad-gone-wrong,"
Or "Billy Bandy-knees":
The Frog is justly sensitive
To epithets like these.
No animal will more repay
A treatment kind and fair;
At least, so lonely people say
Who keep a frog (and, by the way,
They are extremely rare).

Yay, it's working again! Way to go, Spouse.
I remember those little froggies, especially at your house in Issaquah.
