I wanna crash beside my frog, but he’s like “I’m cooler than thee—
Yeah, dude free-range hoppin’ the yard while I duck out for a p-pee.”
Tongue-leaves a wet smooch on his noggin, he peers up and croaks back at me,

Lost and lush in the haze-glaze dolphin-glitch of sneaky turtle maze,

I wanna crash beside my frog, but he’s still like “I’m cooler than thee—
Yeah, still free-range hoppin’ that yard while I hush-hush step out to p-pee.”
I splash love-lick across his crown, he cranks those peepers and croaks “hee-hee,”
So I shuffle off to mattress be
