Mr Poison Dart Frog

While the leaves brushed the gentle grass,
The old poison dart frog sat next to a helmet of brass
As the old frog spoke,
No one was listening
So he gave up thinking
Every animal in the forest hated him
He hurled his way back to the stump, where he sat in silence
He sat upright and watched tigers snarl and snap with violence
The old poison dart frog knew he had to help instead of watching the panda cubs yelp
So he leapt as fast as his old legs could go and nipped the tigers
Which taught him he was the face of the show
The sun glistened while all the animals gathered around the helmet of brass
The old poison dart frog told the animals about his epic battle and for the first time
Everyone listened and laughed
