Be kind and tender to the Frog,
�� And do not call him names,
As ‘Slimy skin,’ or ‘Polly-wog,’
�� Or likewise ‘Ugly James,’
Or ‘Gape-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).
