A Dachshund who was long of hair <br />met in the forest an old bear. <br />The bear was sitting on a log <br />and held in his huge paws a frog. <br /> <br />The hound adored all frogs and toads <br />and always scanned the fields and roads <br />for something green that blended in, <br />it gave him a contented grin. <br /> <br />'What did you have in mind, Big Bear? ' <br />Hound asked, his voice now full of flair. <br />'Frog legs', the bear said, 'are for me, <br />my snack to have with the green tea.' <br /> <br />'How could you eat the spark of life? ! <br />He may have children and a wife! <br />Do you not know, you big bad mug <br />that I could make from you a rug? ' <br /> <br />He spoke, as Dachshunds are so prone <br />as if the subject were a bone, <br />then showed his teeth, let out a growl <br />which then alerted Mrs. Owl. <br /> <br />'Oh, yes', said Mrs.Owl, 'it's true, <br />a hound can really finish you. <br />So let the frog go home I say, <br />that way, your hide will be okay! ' <br /> <br />The bear looked at the frog and then <br />down to the dog and counted ten. <br />He did not need a bad surprise <br />and knew that owls are very wise.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gullible-the-bear/
