Frogs live on no evil star


Well shoot, how could they, it would be too hot!
They’d burn their little tootsies, it would be a pain,
And for another thing, on the shuttle there’s no spot,
For any two-inch froggy ass, and like as not,
If there were, no space suits could be found to fit.
And alterations sure would cost a lot.

They got there, let’s suppose that for a bit,
Once there, how would they reproduce?
There’s no pond or creek on Betelgeuse!
Besides, their food is flies, but if they lived upon the sun,
They’d starve; no Diptera are there, not one.
Send a frog to space? You’d have to be insane!

I’d rather be a doggerel-spewing poet!
Oops, I fear that hope is vain.
