a gentle camp fire
ne'er burnt nor crisped the frogs
better boiled besides

Past Lives
War made for odd couples. To Private Jim Mclellan, Sepp seemed a good man; better at least than some of the monsters he heard stories of deeper into the Reich. Real monsters. This Sepp almost reminded Jim of his uncle; the one from Wisconsin he met a few times at Weddings.

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Tastes like chicken i bet!
Agree with Dylan & Marilyn :)
Frog legs are pretty good, but I would counter your boiled with fried. LOL Nice haiku.
Nice poem, but I'm going to stick to chicken you can have the frogs 🤣
Very clever, Matthew, but no thank you, LOL! Nice work here.😊
I would try a frog under specific circumstances... though, I think I would prefer it to be crispy.
Ha! Couldn’t you find some wild mushrooms or something out there? Lol.
Um, ew? 🤣
