Little Red Frog

My mind was a Tabula Rasa and I searched desperately for my Muse. She simply refused to come. As a last resort I randomly searched for some writing cues and stumbled upon a science news report of a red frog found in the jungles of Borneo. This is a combined result of that news and Elmo singing nursery rhymes to my little Son, who is having a grumpy day!

I saw it hop into a green thimble leaf,
Posing and trying hard not to leap
The Little Red Frog sat there
Sunning itself without a care
“Are you for real?”
“Are you a boy or a girl?”
The Little Red Frog Huffed,
“Why would you want to know?”
I smiled because then I knew
It is a girl or else it would be blue
