Frog And Toad

Christina Georgina Rossetti

Hopping frog, hop here and be seen,
  I’ll not pelt you with stick or stone:
Your cap is laced and your coat is green;
  Good bye, we’ll let each other alone.

Plodding toad, plod here and be looked at,
  You the finger of scorn is crooked at:
But though you’re lumpish, you’re harmless too;
  You won’t hurt me, and I won’t hurt you.
