Laydeez and Gentleprinces, we have a three-way tie! I am not kidding, check it yourself! I counted bona fide votes and also included "favourable mentions", and the winners, with two votes each, are:
Gruber!
Kermit!
Mr Toad!
Thank you to all of the frogs who entered. I should mention here that David Banana and Jenna both got votes too, which is good going! We had some great fan mail, poems, and Haikus. The winning poem from comments was this excellent ode:
Be kind and tender to the Frog,
And do not call him names,
As "Slimy skin," or "Polly-wog,"
Or likewise "Ugly James,"
Or "Gap-a-grin," or "Toad-gone-wrong,"
Or "Bill Bandy-knees":
The Frog is justly sensitiveTo epithets like these.
No animal will more repay
A treatment kind and fair;
At least so lonely people say
Who keep a frog (and, by the way,
They are extremely rare).
Hilaire Belloc
There was also some froggy Hate Mail, which we shall ignore. I would like to remind our viewers that a frog is not a reptile. Debs, that means you. Thank you.
