The Two Frogs
Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl...
One was an optimistic soul,
But the other took the gloomy view.
"We shall drown!" he cried, without more ado.
So with the last despairing cry,
He flung up his legs and said, "Goodbye!"
Quoth the other frog with a merry grin,
"I can't get out, but I won't give in!"
"I'll just swim around 'til my strength is spent,
And then when I die, I'll be more content."
Bravely he swam until it seemed
That the struggle had begun to stir the cream.
On top of the butter at last he stopped,
And out of the bowl he gaily hopped.
What is the moral? 'Tis easily found:
If you can't hop out, keep swimming around!
