    Mike,

    The frog is used often in poems and I felt sorry for the old toad so used him in mine. Thanks for the comments, appreciated.

    Regards,

    Steve

    Keri,

    I stand corrected, there should be the relevant 5-7-5 count now. Take care.

    regards,

    this is not a haiku. the first line should have 5 syllables, and the 2nd and third line should have 7 and 5 syllables respectivley. nice try, though.
