Frog and Banjo
Mike Doughty

There are many sad things,nLike a child drowning in a vat of molasses,n(How would a child end up in a vat of molasses?...)nOr if you were to lose the phone number of someone you find intriguing,n(I'm sure it's in the laundry...)nOr a phone that keeps ringing and ringing and ringing and no one will answer,n(???...)nSad like a zero on the LED display of your answering machine,n(Saaaaad...That's a very melancholy numeral.)nSad like a photograph of your grandfather at the age of twenty-seven,nBut I believe, and I believe strongly,n(He's trying to make a point here...)nThere is nothing sadder thannA frog plucking a banjo.n(Froooooooooogg...)nThat's about as sad as you can be,nA frog plucking a banjo.nLet us contemplate the sadness,n(???...)nOf a banjo playing frog,nLet us examine the sadness,nIt's extremely sad,n(When the banjo is plucked by the frog...)nFrog playing a banjo.n(Frog plucking a banjo...)nIs the frog aware that he is sad?n(I believe that he is aware...)nWell, I'm not so sure you're correct about that.n(Why is that?)nI really--don't--think a frog that plays a banjo is quite so self-aware.n(I beliiieeevvee...)nIs there anything quite so sad?n(A froooooooooggg playing a banjo...)
