After Repast

Dining with reluctance.

My cousin Kermit prepared me frog soup;
to be polite I sat down for a bowl.
After repast I went home to regroup.

He got the notion one day on his sloop;
it was when he passed a riveting shoal.
My cousin Kermit prepared me frog soup.

Thus I arrived and I stood on the stoop;
I rang the bell--I was feeling quite whole.
After repast I went home to regroup.

He greeted me with a wail and a whoop;
I turned my head and I let my eyes roll.
My cousin Kermit prepared me frog soup.

I slurped a spoonful of slimy green goop;
suddenly I felt alarm in my soul.
After repast I went home to regroup.

There was distress due to oncoming poop;
holding it smartly was my only goal.
My cousin Kermit prepared me frog soup;
after repast I went home to regroup.
