Bullfrogs on your Mind

Did you ever...?

Did you ever...?

Did you ever wake up with those bullfrogs on your mind?

….

No, me neither.

Although, I did once wake up contemplating an okapi, but those were different times and the thought of wildlife was never far from our minds. Quite often the talk that morning at the bus stop would be about the mating behaviour of lions or whether blue tits were migratory.

Back in those days, politics was more about ideology than the slight differences of hairstyle and marginal degrees of complete incompetence that these days separate the political parties. Those of my generation can remember the stirring speeches made at the TUC annual conference about the pine marten and the Conservative party's strict stance on migrating wildebeest.

Times have changed now, and it is common for people to have at least one penguin-related app on their smartphone and Feretbook is one of the most popular sites on the internet, not to mention the incredible number of photographs of cats being cute in cute ways. Although, some would argue that cats are not wild animals, those of us though, that have ever tried to bathe a cat will, of course, beg to differ on that score.

Still, though it is a shame about the bullfrogs, despite their ability to construct very intriguing god-games, so if you find yourself with a spare moment, try contemplating a bullfrog for a minute or two – who knows it could had a whole new dimension to your personal philosophy.
