Analysis of Frog heart
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Not one to be stubborn
Just one to blame
Even angry waves mourn
Before effects turn to shame
As if in a hurricane
Stars align their worth
To names
Molecular vessels merely grain
Seizing structures
what is to gain
Whither to childrens
Mimicking game
