Pond-er

Alone a frog sitting on a rock
By the pond
Looking at fish that swim 
In the water
And at the birds that fly
In the sky – (and the reflection
Of the sky and the flying birds
On the water in the pond 
In which swim fish)

And a little later
With a sigh, gets up the frog
Picks up its stick
And it goes on a walk
Thinking about things
Longing to fly – like the birds
And on and on it walks
Till it reaches the next pond –
(The famous old pond)

Throwing the stick away
It jumps in – 
Blunk plunk nglunk
Splash
Glub glub glub
