Donkey Frogs

As reported by Mackenzie:

Mackenzie asked me early one day,

“Have you ever seen a donkey frog frolicking at play?”

‘No,” I responded, what could I say?

“A donkey frog? Really? Not in my day!”

“They hop like zebras bounding away,

or croak in the garden as night overcomes day.

Gray and green or black  and white,

donkey frogs can be a most terrible sight.

Some are big, oh so quite huge

too fat to do anything ,

they can’t even move.”

Mackenzie saw them as she mentioned to me.

So I wrote what she said for all you to see.

“They’re afraid of cameras and don’t want to be held,

If you see one to touch you must stand so still.

It will come up and look you nose to your toes

Then smile if it wants to, giving a moo.”

Some Additions to the Blog

I’m currently working on illustrations for a book of poetry, much of it inspired by my granddaughters, and by life in general. I’ve been putting it off because I was not content with my drawing skills which I let atrophy for many (don’t even ask) years. Now, after three semesters of drawing classes I feel up to the task and I am on my way. I’ll let everyone know as soon as it is completed. I will probably put the book on Smashwords to make it accessible and inexpensive. Updates to follow.
