Quote - Death of a Naturalist

• 1.       Punishing sun
• 2.       Gargled delicately
• 3.       Warm thick slobber
• 4.       Clotted water
• 5.       Jampots of the jellied specks
• 6.       Daddy frog ……mammy frog
• 7.       One hot day
• 8.       Fields were rank
• 9.       Angry frogs
• 10.   Invaded … cocked… threats… grenades… vengeance
• 11.   Slap and pop
• 12.   Poised like mud grenades
• 13.   Great slime kings
• 14.   The spawn would clutch it
