Mr. Hoppy Frog

by Laura E. Richards

　　Mr. Hoppy FrogWas very, very funny;Mr. Hoppy FrogHe had not any money.So he could not buyA squeaky woolly dog;It made him sigh and sob and cry,Poor Mr. Hoppy Frog!Going down the lane,He met with Mistress Kitty;When she saw his pain,Her heart was filled with pity.“Mr. Hoppy Frog,Oh! do not weep for that!To buy your woolly dogI’ll sell my Sunday hat.”Bowing down before,Said Mr. Hoppy Frog,“I love you even moreThan squeaky woolly dog!Come to church with me,And wear your Sunday hat;And we’ll through life be Frog and wife,Sweet Mistress Kitty Cat!” Enjoy this silly nonsense poem by Ms. Richards, Eletelephony, which was featured on Sesame Street for the letter "E"!
