Amphibious with You

I fell once. Never again.
But if I do I’ll swim.
I give my best with a crooked limb
and walk on my elbows to win.

I was rejected once for thin skin.
Wizened up and now spin.
I plug everybody but I’m no stopper.
Hey! You’re great.! A real showstopper!

Yeah, I have a big mouth. Let’s overlook that.
But my tongue can hold secrets and in the blink of an eye
send you swirling into a pie in the sky.
Oh I’ll swallow you with kisses on my lap.

Wanna take a swim? It’ll only be that.
Don’t look down. I’m kinda fat.
Now hop on and give me some bliss.
Let me idolize you on my belly transfixed!

Am I sounding indecent to you?
I’m only a pol suggesting a screw.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m a real nice guy.
Just keep calling me “Froggy” on the sly.
