The frog ensemble

Is back in town

I heard them 

Warming up

Tonight

Clearing throats

Of winters mud

And sounding quite

Off key

The sharps and flats

Of down below

The ponds

Extremities

They’re practicing 

Their etudes

In croaking 

Harmonies

And by tomorrows

Show they’ll be

Performance

Reedy
