Kermy!
A warning from a shaken, green puppet
A lesson from a shaken, green puppet,
If you see a lost frog- you must cup it!
Gently—gently!— in your hands,
Before Miss Piggy demands,
A zillion kisses from her favourite Muppet.
This really happened when I was walking around Munich during a recent jaunt to Bavaria. My wife and I had spent the morning strolling along the Isar and were about to rest a while on a bench when my wife pointed out that I was about to crush a large frog that was in a state of shock! I apologised to the amphibian and asked why he was in such a state.
He spilled the beans . . . Miss Piggy this, Miss Piggy that. Her overtures had gone so overboard that he couldn't even take a holiday around Europe without her flying in, demanding a kiss! We promised to look out for him while we were in Germany, and between us we devised the above limerick.
So the next time you're hiking through Hamburg, or walking Westphalia - remember: there could be a talking, fabric frog that needs your help in spurning the advances of a big pink pig.
