Wise frog

The water rushes, crisp and free 

a frog jumps in 

he must be so cold I think 

I am not wet with a coat, and I shiver 

here I am feeling bad for him 

I wish he had something to keep him warm 

I wish he had what I had 

how does he live like that I wonder 

but I am so naive 

he knows so much more than I do 

he jumped in, nobody pushed him 

look at me standing here 

not wet, with a coat and shivering 

so pathetic 

so I take off my coat 

and I jump in 

the frog was right! 

I am cold now 

but this was my choice
