While filling a watering can in my kitchen sink,
Two eyes appeared and started to blink.
Sure enough, froggie had been keepin’ cool
In my two-gallon can (its new swimmin’ pool).
It emerged and crawled up onto the spout.
I said, “Hello, Kermit — come and hang out.”
I picked up the can gently to proceed back outside.
He leaped on my leg and hung on for the ride.
Once out the door he launched in an arc.
Find lots o’ bugs!” I said into the dark.
Let’s do what we can to minimize strife
Of the fragile wild things we encounter in life.
