Analysis of Frog-Making
John Bannister Tabb 1845 (Amelia County) – 1909 ( Ellicott City)
Said Frog papa to Frog mamma,
'Where is our little daughter?'
Said Frog mamma to Frog papa,
'She's underneath the water.'
Then down the anxious father went,
And there, indeed, he found her,
A-tickling tadpoles, till they kicked
Their tails off all around her.
