"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
