Analysis of A Disconcerted Concert

John Bannister Tabb 1845 (Amelia County) – 1909 ( Ellicott City)



Bull father frog
Was on the log,
While many a little fellow
Around the pool
Upon his stool
Sat learning how to bellow.

A turtle near,
Whom all did fear,-
An enemy to noises-
His head upsent,
And down they went
To drown, alas, their voices.
