Distorted Attraction

Bertie was his name
And looking for love
Was his game 

He leaped
From lily pad to lily pad
Looking for romance
It was driving him mad 

He searched
Under water too
But always found
Nothing new 

He was a frog
You see
All slimy, green
And cute as could be 

Then one day
Whilst leaping
On lily pads
His heart began to sing 

A beauty to behold
Sitting on the
Edge of the water
Making him wonder 

Just a glimpse
That he could see
Through blades of grass
Was enough for Bertie 

This prettiness
Could it be
That you are
The one for me 

He called out to her
He'd never felt happier
But all the time
She would never answer 

The blades of grass
Started to sway
And part as a wind
Headed that way 

More of this beauty
Was revealed
A kiss he wanted
Between them to be sealed 

Her skin glistened
In the wind
So shiny
This was just the beginning 

As the wind
Became stronger
Her body moved
Like a shiny green monster 

She made a rustling noise
He realised
He'd maybe
Made the wrong choice 

The wind howled
The monster roared
Suddenly flaoting upward
The monster soared 

Up into the air
Flapping her arms
And her legs
Setting off alarms

He could clearly see
This was no frog
Not even a monster
This bubble of hope and fear had just gone pop 

The thing that
He had longed for
And then feared
Was of no interest to him anymore 

It was nothing more
Than a green plastic bag
That led him away 
Into a world of imagination
He laughed in the end
At his silly infatuation
