Frog Box!
By Katanga
15 May 2008


This is a bit of frivolous jollity written in response to Brett's comment on his own:

'And Still I Wait Beside These Placid Waters'

That poem is a must-see!

Anyway, here is a silly jolliness about it . . .

Cheers!

Ps Ha!



Frog Box

I ascend the Muse's rocky face
A Newbie in poetic clogs
Writing doggerel at a cocky pace
Ignoring sympathetic blogs

I pause for breath half way up
And sit on two iambic logs
Drink from Alice's discarded cup
Descending as mad as a box of frogs

It is a very Good Poem, First That I Com

Hello! I really do like this poem! But, it did find an error in your poem: You have a capitalization error. The word that was incorrectly capitalized was Newbie. All in all, this was great! I look forward to reading more of your works soon. :)

That was excellent, Tolstoy! 
 
One of your best. Poetic clogs indeed. Very droll.
Oh, Veronica!

Thank you, Veronica - Gosh, I am so pleased to get this review from you. No, really! 
 
Just for a laugh - go to the 'For Kids' section and see my 'The Beastly A to Z'. 
 
Seriously, I'm not trying to promote myself - I just thought it might tickle you . . .  
 
Reason? I think you are among the very few top poets on this, sometimes annoying, website! 
 
Repect!

Very droll, Tolstoy - like the rhymes. 
 
Cheers

Hello my Friend!  
 
I hope you realise that what I'm doing here is celebrating you, not taking the proverbial?! 
 
My rhymes are forced and pathetic - yours are natural and good! 
 
I'd never steal a word from you - I mean, who ever would? 
 
Apart from . . . .!!!! 
 
 
Ha! Ha! Ha!  
 
Respect!
