AM I GREEN

Just a little frog
jumped in the salad bag
maybe it was cold
or just a bit sad

Hid behind the leaves
hoped he would woudn't be seen
when Molly got home
undone the polythene

There was Freddy
with his illuminating
bulbus eyes
croaked!

"How did I get in here"?
jumped out the sealed bag
Molly screamed! in fear
with shock!

started singing Alive Alive O

Freddy was so fat
from munching all the
lettuce leaves
how! many miles had he travelled

Not the 1st time a green frog
has been found in a salad
maybe we could ask
the AbcTalers

If he was in with their trainer's
suddenly 'Jazz' "Green Eyes"
the special black cat
I always have in

Sprung from round the door
playfully out came his paw
poor Freddy
lay dead on the floor

No tag to say where he
came from
but on his back
stamped
made in Hong Kong!

all comments please
in paper most of it true!

Hello! Thank's for reading
Oh! gee a comment well it has happened
local paper stated. So try make up poetic
poem. No not greatest poem, when moody sometimes
comes as I feel? Better than working at it,the bit of the cat's paw! not true ah! ah!
Like reading the way you can write yours,
also the name "Pretty Rose". a privilege read yours too.Hectic here, his computer, "Virgin" switched off 48 hrs. Now back on. Too late for (IP) so changed it.
Difficult situation, I have thing called hearing aid,
so he talks to me when not in. And he goes bit deaf, can't hear me. That's only one little problem! to-gtherness is not there, now re-tired from a stent heart, I have been there for them both in all of life's ups and downs and many many things. But his Snooker and Bowls good for him, never into connect with me. So now I try many thing able to do.
Keep smiling, I went for fresh air yesterday, he is good man, m of many years now, but no connection me.
Wouldn't even discuss anything! walks out things go wrong. Drastic. But everyone has a story to tell, so
they say. Off to mid-day Jazz hour thing. Pays back show tickets I now go,but doesn't come. Might meet me by bus. Hope things ok for you. Argue no good for
anyone, bridges have to be mended and broken. Promises don't exist, I am a very sensitive person.
May be should get boxing gloves, for both them.
Are you going too London hope he won't change his mind take me. Free pass on train.Get my meaning we, are all like cars motor engine break down, needs a kick start, go on laugh! sometimes has be coaxed talk
to it?
take care julie xx

Hello julie,

wow! it sounds like that poor frog had some
adventure before he died.

I really enjoyed reading this piece about that
frog, it was nice to bring Jazz the cat into the
story too.

Really enjoyed reading and thanks for sharing.

Hello! Thanks commenting
nice,but it was in local paper,
and happened before! shops I have
read about, actually see photo of frog
inside, don't know what happened to him,
maybe the person returned it to shop stores.It's funny in a way, cat's been know to to travel in engine of a car etc; or the car curled up on the
seats goes miles, before found get home! Dog's wait
at bus stops for owner's know to board the bus. Not
joking, they know who lovres them. "Green Eyes" not
come in yet, since his owner is back. But 100% know he will soon. "jazz" group fantastic I had glass of wine, no lunch, one hour they played. Went out walk home, previous said,wine is strong, Roseau lovely.
I started walking half hour journey, but got half way
feeling light headed, bus coming caught for two stops
before home! Luckily he was in, asked him something to eat, then ok. Yes, name "Jazz" comes into so much I see about, or read. Well could have been better written. Thankyou for reading it, delighted you did.
all the best need your support on words, please next one I am attempting, more musical words you know?

An elderly lady was stopped by a traffic officer in New-York, an Irish man:

“Ma'am do you realise that you just went through a red light?
“I'm sorry officer, but on St Patrick's day every thing looks green to me!
“Ok. Don't do it again.

Cheers Julie & Good stuff- catching up!
