the dreaming of gold

The frogs out of the pond

Once they felt the gold

The glittering light in their eyes

Now it was a mirage


They marched

The swamp was dry

They couldn't jump quickly

Time was delayed


So there they were

Croaking loudly of the lost gold

They couldn't get it

All because of the hunter


The nets everywhere

The frogs couldn't jump through

Every effort was a lost cause

Finally they gave up


The dreaming of gold

It wasn't meant to be

They could croak about it

Until they are forgotten
