“Help me loose,” the little frog cried,
“And I will bring joy into your life.”
The old man pried the stuck frog loose,
Using his sharp fish cleaning knife.

The frog said, “I am a princess,
I am under an evil spell.
One kiss from you will set me free,
And I will treat you very well.”

“So please just kiss me,” the frog said,
“And I’ll be your beautiful wife.
I promise you nights full of joy,
And I will be your slave for life.”

He put the frog into his creel
And started off with his old dog.
“At my age”, the fisherman said,
“I’d rather have a talking frog!”

My glasses must be the problem,
I’ve not seen that much dust before.
So now I’ll take off my glasses
Before I come in the front door!

“Ten weeks, ten months, ten what?” Ben asked.
“Is it something that you can fix?”
The doctor just kept on counting;
“Nine,” then “eight,” then “seven,” then “six…”

He was always in a hurry
So who’s the slowpoke now?
If she made him wait this long,
He would have a holy cow.

He wouldn’t use a cell phone,
No way that she could call.
He said he hated shopping,
Was he still inside the mall?

It had been at least an hour.
She was really getting mad!
She thought, “He doesn’t love me;
He wouldn’t treat his dog this bad!”

She decided to call home
Her husband’s voice came on the phone!
He said, “You know how much I worry,
When you go shopping all alone.”

He was supposed to memorize
The entire Gettysburg Address,
Which was causing my grandson
A lot of worry and distress.

So I recited it for him,
As I had learned it long ago.
It was to him a big surprise
That it was something I would know.

He said, “It’s easy to recall
Something that you actually saw.”
When Lincoln made his famous speech,
Were you at Gettysburg, Grandpa?”
