Billy and the Frogs

Billy was a boy of ten
living with nine girls
His life was one of grief
a bloke among nine pearls

There was no relief in sight
that he could plainly see
He’d have to devise a plan
to help to set him free

One girl was bad enough
poor Billy lived with nine
He was tired of those girls
making him toe the line

One day Billy was outside
playing with his ball
He heard a loud “rivet”
an undeniable frog call

A smile crossed his face
his heart filled with cheer
He had an awesome idea
to fill his sisters’ hearts with fear

He took the frog to Sally’s room
and placed him in her bed
He quietly sneaked down the hall
listening to what might be said

That night Sally went to bed
and settled down to sleep
There came the sound of “rivet”
Sally screamed, then began to weep

No one seemed to know
how the frog got into Sally’s bed
Billy only smiled and thought
those girls have much more to dread

Judy, the next day at school,
sitting down to eat, opened her pail
A startling“rivet” could be heard
Judy loudly began to wail

When Susie Lee put on her shoes
there was something in the toe
“Rivet, rivet” came from the shoe
the frogs simply had to go

Leah and Sarah found frogs
in the pockets of their jeans
The girls of Billy’s family
were ready to call out the Marines

Billy’s mother kept an eye
upon her only son
She had a strong suspicion
the boy was having too much fun

That night Billy carried some frogs
in a sack down the hall
To his surprise there stood Mom
he knew, trouble to him, would befall

“Billy” she said in a stern voice
“What is that in your hand”
“Oh, nothing, Mom” he squeaked
This felt like Custer’s last stand

“Give me the sack,” his Mother said
Billy’s back was against the wall
He handed the sack to her
There was a sickening pall

Billy’s Mom took him by the hand
and led him to his room
He walked inside; to his surprise
frogs were jumping around“Kaboom”

Everywhere he looked he saw a frog
“Rivet, rivet,” was what he heard
It looked like the tables had turned
his room was a theater of the absurd

The lesson for Billy was painful
to say the very least
The frogs lived in his room
until his mother’s anger ceased

The moral of the story is this
always be kind to your sisters
You never know what to expect
if you’re a bumbling Mister
