    Default Perseverence

    Guess everyone is familiar with "If fate hand's you a lemon, make a lemonade", here is a little variation on this suject......

    PERSEVERENCE

    Two frogs fell into a can of cream,
    Or so I've heard it told.
    The sides of the can were shiny and steep,
    The cream was deep and cold.

    "Oh, what’s the use?" croaked number one.
    "‘Tis fate, no help's around.
    Good-bye my friend! Good-bye, sad world!"
    And weeping still, he drowned.

    But number two, of sterner stuff,
    Dog-paddled in surprise.
    The while he wiped his creamy face,
    And dried his creamy eyes.

    "I'll swim awhile at least," he said,
    Or so I've heard he said;
    "It really wouldn't help the world,
    If one more frog were dead."

    An hour or two he kicked and swam,
    Not once he stopped to mutter,
    But kicked and kicked and swam and kicked,
    Then hopped out, via butter.

    WOW!

    A new one I've never heard before! That alone is worth a greeny.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    But with such slipery little feet
    He could hardly stand
    And found no matter what he did
    He fell back in the can.

    Default Shake

    Shake and shake,
    the Ketchup bottle.
    None will come,
    And then a lottle!.

    I eat my peas with honey,
    I've done it all my life.
    It makes the peas taste funny,
    But it sticks em, too the knife!

    Well that's a good joke about butter
    ... I will spread it around.
