When Barney, the bulky, bullheaded Bullfrog decided to take up residence under my car tire, i told him politely, “Barney, that is quite a perilous spot at which you can — most definitely — easily expire.”
Barney just sat there without a trembling twitch and said, “You sure are a very worrisome bloke; i can assure you, most greenheartedly, that we brave Bullfrogs are, indubitably, not afraid to croak.”
Then i realized that all of my careful cautions and pale-lectures would not cause Barney to fearfully quiver, so i grabbed his humongous, bullheaded, brown-old butt and — despite his slimy objections — threw him into the river.

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

What a big one!
How cute! Love the story and picture!
Love frogs! Barney is great . . . and great big, too.
Some of us do need to be protected from our own bullheadedness. 😉
Sometimes we decide to make the right decision, and sometimes we need to be “encouraged” toward it! Delightful image and story!
Love it…
I bet he toad you his life story!
Good move! Still smiling.
Ahahaha great way to tell about Barney’s assisted travels!
Fine poem and photo, Tom!
You likely saved Barney’s life and kept him from becoming a grease spot on the garage floor.
😂😂 Bully for you!!
Hilarious! Great poem and lovely bullfrog. I love to hear them croak. 😉
Well done, both the story, photograph and well intended action
