There’s fighting in the duck pond,
the frogs have gone to war!
They’re punching toads and kicking newts,
they’re out to settle an old score.

once again i'm borrowing this to grace my (April 2019) showcase of poems by P H poets, this time poets of the British Isles. any questions, please ask. Thanks. bri :) this shows that " might aka power" sometimes DOES make " right aka correctness/morality" , at least in the minds of many of the pond community.

hi, i accidentally came upon this show-stopping poem while looking for another by someone else. the story is fantastic (well, really good at least!) , the rhyming is well-done and very welcome, and the title is captivating. to MyPoemList it goes. favorite lines: The heron has them fleeing, the frogs hop off in retreat. They’re apologising frantically, knowing they’re what heron likes to eat! too bad it took a big heron to (temporarily) stop the war. where is God when one needs Her? ? bri :) ok, i'm rereading. an old score? so, did the newts and toads do something 'bad' they SHOULD be PUNISHED FOR? ? ? that could make a world of difference! don't frogs and people have to make ground rules? Territory MUST BE PROTECTED!
