The Frog In The Blender
Stumbling to the kitchen 'bout midnight
To get a little something to eat
Looking all through the refrigerator
I couldn't find anything sweet
I considered a bologna sandwich
But the thought just didn't sit right
I wanted something with calories
When I raided the kitchen at night
Then I spied the filled cookie jar
And it made my heart all tender
I got the shock of my life when I saw
A frog sitting in the blender
Rubbing my tired, old, feeble eyes
I thought I was having a dream
I looked again and he was still there
So I let out a frightful scream
The frog jerked awake and tried to escape
But he just couldn't jump that high
I was still reeling from that scary sight
I peed my pants and started to cry
I didn't want him hopping 'round my kitchen
So I snapped on the blender lid
Now that I had the poor critter trapped
Just what do you think I did?
The question that haunts me to this day
Is one that you can think through
If you saw a frog in your blender
What is it that you would do?
