Good train of thought - lovely narrative poem well articulated and insightfully penned with conviction. An unsettled wandering fool's advice to the contented frog, shows the fools sublime persistence in stupidity. A lovely piece indeed. Thanks for sharing David. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

Thank you. When I wrote the poem I thought the message was simple, clear and obvious. Since publlishing it I have been quite surprised by how some have interpreted it. The title a Frog and a Fool I thought was the giveaway but have since learned that was not the case.

An interesting read David... Perhaps both the 'fool' who never stops anywhere and the 'frog' who never moves anywhere are both wasting their lives, being unhappy and unsuccessful... Thanks for sharing...

Or maybe the frog has found what the fool is seeking? ? ? ?
