Frog with a dollar

This tiny Indian frog sitting on an Indian 5 rupee coin is the smallest India frog.

Small men mock at divine incarnations

Think themselves smart stoke their little passions

With great glee sit and gloat by a puddle

While God’s ocean is right in their middle

Once in a wood lived a big ugly frog

Found a shining dollar on a great rock

Grabbed it in delight, guarded carefully

Thought a world of it proud as frog could be

A great tusker passed over it’s puny hole

The enraged frog with great anger did call

The elephant names, raised it’s leg to kick

The bemused great beast walked into the thick

May the ocean tide flood our lowly holes

And draw us frogs into its treasure laden whole
