"Public as a Frog"

	

	it is to my regret that

	there's an adolescent

	who isn't fluffy

	yet nonetheless is as sterile as a raccoon

	

	what a shame that the

	poor lad

	with all the airs and meanness

	of a cat

	has none of the wisdom or tasteful content

	

	the

	poor boy!

	he doesn't have a sticky tongue, good for catching insects

	nor can he hippoty-hop

	no imperial charms to speak of

	yet he is just as public as any frog



	Somehow my sympathy doesn't extend far enough-

	I still don't want to kiss him

Lol! I love the tone! It's light, sarcastic, and amusing! I love how you compare that poor boy to different animals.

The only advice I have for you is to maybe consider some more punctuation. I think it would make it easier to read. Plus, the word hippoty-hop (hippety-hop?) was a bit much for me.

I hope to see more poems like this in the future. Too often we get lovey-dovey or really depressing poems. Thanks for lightening my day!
It makes me curious to meet this boy who is as "sterile as a raccoon." Lol!
