I'm Frank, the frog collector, and I'm happy to report my collection's nearly finished; I have frogs of every sort. I record them in my journal so that every single frog is accounted for completely with an entry in my log. I have hundreds, maybe thousands of amphibians1 at home. I have frogs of quilted fabric2. I have frogs of gleaming chrome. I have frogs of painted porcelain3, and frogs of brass4 and tin. I have frogs you open up to find another frog within. There are small magnetic tree frogs clinging gently to the fridge and Louisiana bullfrogs on a plastic bayou bridge. I have frogs on ancient bicycles with shiny silver bells. I have frogs proposing marriage to their froggy mademoiselles. You'll see frogs ascending5 ladders. You'll see frogs descending6 stairs, yes, and frogs reclining dreamily in comfy leather chairs. I have frogs with pink umbrellas. I have frogs engrossed7 in books. Even frogs that dangle8 fishing poles in nonexistant brooks9. My abode10 is filled with frogs from top to bottom, front to back. There are frogs in every corner, every crevice11, every crack. There is only one that's missing; just one blank space in my log. So I'm begging, mom and dad, can I please have a REAL frog?
