Photo Memory of the Week
Posted: 2025 Jan 25
I'm always happy to get a photo of a frog;
not sure that I'd be 218 times as happy if, well, you know.Poetry of the Week
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 sensitiveTo epithets like these.No animal will more repayA treatment kind and fair;At least so lonely people sayWho keep a frog (and, by the way,They are extremely rare).Posted: 2025 Jan 25
