When the day is at an end
And the cool of the night sets in
Out on the back patio, you can hear:
FLIP FLOP! PLOP PLOP! THUD SPLAT! KLUMP BLAT!
HOP HOP! BLOP BLOP! THUMP... THUMP... THUMP...
It's the time of the night when kids get a fright
But the noise isn't scary, nor is it hairy
The Frogger family comes out of their pipe
FLIP FLOP! PLOP PLOP! THUD SPLAT! KLUMP BLAT!
HOP HOP! BLOP BLOP! THUMP... THUMP... THUMP...
They live in the stair handrail and wake up at night
The rail is beaten and rusty; to them, it's just rustic
And they enjoy cuddling safely during the day
FLIP FLOP! PLOP PLOP! THUD SPLAT! KLUMP BLAT!
HOP HOP! BLOP BLOP! THUMP... THUMP... THUMP...
But the cool of the night, it feels just right
They come out to play and enjoy a banquet by the light.
FLIP FLOP! PLOP PLOP! THUD SPLAT! KLUMP BLAT!
HOP HOP! BLOP BLOP! THUMP... THUMP... THUMP...
The frogs eat the mozzies, moths, and insects buzzing around the porch light.
(The rest of the story continues)
We're looking forward to seeing you at Beenleigh Showgrounds on the 2nd of November.
Happy reading!
