'Such oversights beset us all' - yes, but such oversights cause death to the down under.

‘A froggy would a-wooing go.’ A hypothetic frog trolled he, Obtuse to a reality.. O rich and poor, O great and small, Such oversights beset us all.....wonderful; nowadays we are living like the fate of the Frog! ! ! - excellent poem penned

Weren't there so many highways in her day? The poetess called it " ïmperial highway" Is this poem an indictment of the hustle and bustle of the highway? The poet says many words about the death of a frog run over by a truck or just a large car. We as readers now consider the fact that the motorway offers advantages, but is not that safe. Congratulations for this honour to the family of the late poetess. Thank you for sharing.

My road to fame turns out a wry way; I perish on the hideous highway; Oh for my old familiar byway! ’.....most impressive lines with lofty theme. Beautiful poem.

Excellent poem. The frog did not use science. He should have hopped on the wagon to steal a ride.
