Camouflage

Kelly's skin was creamy white, her hair was sunny blonde
Mildred's skin and hair looked like the scum upon a pond
They liked to play in a marshy bog in early weeks of May
Not knowing that a half-blind, child-devouring mutant frog was on its way
"I see you!" croaked the frog when Kelly's golden hair swished by
And with a flick of his sticky tongue, he ate her like a fly
"I smell one more," the old toad said, "I'll wait until I spot 'er."
But Mil sat stiller than a weepin' willer, and the slime prince never got 'er.
