Shedding Skin

How tough the skin of Dragon is with Spider at her flank so Frog the chalice offered again and now the poison drank, They want him dead and no one cares, just burn him at the stake the'll gloat and cheer as they clear, the ashes with a rake. No hidden cards or games to play, his death does come this... Sign in to see full entry.

The bow

The Crow did rise and circle again, keeping an eye on the Frog below Something glistened in the sunlight as the Arrow sped from the Wizard's Bow The Frog had done it, and now he stood, watching the arrow in flight as it sped towards the Spider, standing on her back legs in fright.
