Love those cute froggie jokes.
But ........ I think I will pass on the frog legs. :)
Do they really taste like chicken?

Did I mention the Frogs exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History?
All for the sake of a quick poem, now I'm going to be haunted by the sound of all those little wheeled carriages as legions of frog amputees go creaking along the sidewalk.
