A Relevant Rhyme

 Am I next? asks Terence.

Yes, you're next, says Nerida. Attention everyone! Terence will now sing the Frog Song.

I'm on the frog team (sings Terence)

And so I know....

What's the last line going to be? asks Freddy.

You have to wait for it, says Terence.

What if I don't like it? asks Freddy.

I might change it, says Terence. If you let me change the last line of yours.

What's the last line of yours, Freddy? asks Nerida.

It ended when you said goodbye, sings Freddy.

That's good, says Terence. You don't have to change it.

Thank you, says Freddy

So I don't have to change mine, says Terence. Shall I start again or keep going?

Keep going, says Gaius. Or we'll be here all night.

Frogs have different voices (sings Terence)

Some high and some low.

Bonk-bonk, sings the pobblebonk.

Stop that, says Terence.

Just giving an example, says the pobblebonk.

Of high or low? asks Terence.

Middle, says the pobblebonk.

Then it wasn't even an example, says Terence.

It was an average example, says the pobblebonk.

Gaius shakes his head.

Can I keep singing? asks Terence.

Yes, says Katherine. Take no notice of silly interruptions.

Some bark and some click (sings Terence).

AAAAAND!....

Everyone waits for it.

Will Terence have thought of a good rhyme for click?

You left out 'some bonk and some tink', says the pobblebonk.

I'm changing it, says Terence.

He keeps singing.

Some bark and some tink, AAAAND!

Some have a Y!

Is that a reference to me? asks Freddy.

Yes, says Terence. Because the Y in your head makes you different. 

That's lovely, says Nerida. Even if it doesn't rhyme.

Wait, says Terence. The rhyme's coming.

AAAND... Freddy is that guy! sings Terence.

Everyone claps, even the pobblebonk.

It's truly a relevant rhyme.
