A Frog Named Slime
A frog named Slime covered in grime
Jumped in a pond to scrub himself clean,
scrubbed so hard he washed off the green
“Look at me now! I can’t be seen,
looking too clean like a shriveled green bean.“
“‘I look all shiny with all that sheen.
and won’t look like a frog if I’m not all green.”‘
So away he hopped to his puddle of grime
and happy was he the frog named Slime.
