The Well Frog

The frog that lives
in a well,
Will never know the
charm of a seashell.

How can I make
him understand?
Who never comes out
from his homeland.

You cannot describe
the beauty of ocean,
To a toad who is always
in a commotion.

All he knows is to
hop and croak,
For his whole life
with his kinfolk.

In his imagination
the stars in the skies,
Is a delicious gustation
just like the fireflies.

He is so proud
and always boastful,
Never agrees that a cloud
Is pretty and beautiful.

No aims and ambition,
weak in comprehension.
A kiss can never make him king,
It’s just a tale kids sing.
