Save the Frogs

Over in the Garden,  Hannah challenged us to write a poem for Save The Frogs Day! 

Save The Frogs Day is the world's largest day of amphibian education and conservation action.

In an effort to raise awareness of the plight of amphibians, the scientific community has declared Saturday April 27th, 2013 the 5th Annual 'Save The Frogs Day'. On this day we encourage the appreciation and celebration of amphibians by people from all walks of life. Only a small proportion of our public is aware that frogs are disappearing, and amphibian conservation efforts will not be successful with an un-informed public. Our goal is to make the amphibian extinction crisis common knowledge, and Save The Frogs Day is our best way to make this happen!

 

 Please Be Green

Geesh, you think life is tough

my home reeks

Putrid fish in a slimy swamp

I'm always cold

I have thyroid disease

You couldn't tell by my

bulging eyes n'  bulbous belly

 I'm told all day to hang out and bug off

while fish with teeth n'  diving birds

 try to eat me

I know hop to it...find a new home right

 someone is polluting all the new condos

so I'll settle for this pad

I'm an artist

you didn't know

but you have heard about Save The Arts?

I blend, change color daily

Monet was one of us

You remember our President

 Kermit The Frog

Well, if you could please help...

Be green!

Everyone knows

Its not easy being green, 

but I know you will leap towards

the challenge! 

~Thank you~
