Frog from Zog

by Mark Rawlins   Nov 17, 2013


In light years from now, the Planet Zog will be ruled in terror by an evil frog,
and Zoggians will live in fright of a knock on the door late at night.
Their family and friends will disappear as Froggie inflicts his reign of fear,
and in this once civilisation children will die from starvation.
And us Earthlings will watch in despair, whilst our governments will pretend to care,
though secretly they'll rue the hour they armed the frog and gave him power.
Then out of desperation, out of fear, many Zoggians will teleport here.
They'll miss their homes, but be glad to be free on this planet of opportunity.
They'll bring their culture, music and art, and embrace the Earth with all their heart.
They'll start new businesses, creat new wealth, make breakthroughs for the planet's health,
and Zoggian food will be on the menus of the most exclusive Earthling venues....
But as years go by, it may seem strange, the Earthlings will suffer, for a change,
when their banks go bust from dodgy bets and the planet runs up massive debts.
And in times of austerity, times of pain, Earthlibgs will want to lay the blame.
'Why do you think our economies fail?' will scream the headlines in the 'Earthling Mail'.
'It's those green guys who flocked over here and stole our women and drank our beer.'
And the Earth Defense League will congregate in towns and cities preaching hate.
And Zoggian kids will be bullies at school, as Earthling governments divide and rule.
And meanwhile back on Planet Zog, it's another triumph for Evil Frog!
