Funeral

My frog died.
He was bluish and crispy and floating wrong side up, down at the bottom of the tank.
It was my fault.
It was Ice Storm 07 and I was in a rush to evacuate.
Get all the important things.
All the survival essentials.
I forgot the frog.
I returned 3 days later to survey property damage.
I found him damaged.
Dead.
So mom made a tiny coffin and dad buried him at the top of the hill.
Rest in peace little toad.
Come back as a prince in your next life.
And look me up when you get here.
