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 sensitive
To 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).

very nice
'The Frog is justly sensitive
To epithets like these.'
The poem is about a frog but in general it is about the people who always pass bad comments on anything...everyone. But when they do so they don’t care about the others feelings. As frog is not a frog by choice but by the will of God, everything and everyone is the most beautiful and perfect of all according to his or her own point of view. It needs all type of creatures to make a world complete. Emerson has also described such type of idea in his wonderful poem, ' Fable’ The Mountain and the squirrel. This is a very nice poem.
