A frog's advice on bullying

You humans always criticize "simple" creatures like us for our behavior, but what about yours? Who do you enjoy being so mean to each other? I keep reading that bullying is a big problem for children, but even you adults keep up this nasty habit – and even if you're not directly involved you turn a blind eye to it.

I've run into my fair share of bullies and I've found that you have to confront them whenever you can. Sadly, you can't rely on others to step in there and help you...

It was early one fine spring morning

While my lazy neighbour was snoring

I hopped out to get some food

But ran into a toad who was quite rude

He landed in the mud with a squelch

And began to yodel and belch

It was a most unpleasant combination

In fact it was an abomination!

His arrogance knew no bounds

As he continued with his disgusting sounds

He cried, “I’m the foulest toad in the west”

“And scarin’ frogs is what I like best!”

“Go get me some flies you green fool,”

He grunted as he began to drool

Suddenly, I was overcome with frog pride

And kicked his wobbly backside

The filthy brown lump let out a scream

As he rolled down the bank into the stream

“Why’d ya kick me so hard?” he cried

“I was only joking,” he lied

What a coward he turned out to be!

Did he really think he could mess with me?

Now he’ll know what to expect

If he doesn’t show us frogs respect!
