Lambe

Notes

The frog as it spoke
lured flies with a croak
the last thing they'll see
its mouth closing will be.

Extra

A translation into Dutch: (TONG)

De tong-val van
een kikker lokt
de vlieg, die dan
wordt opgeslokt.

The accent / tongue-trap of
a frog lures
the fly, who then
is swallowed.

Ránatar/Maivandion on VL provided a translation into Russian: (ЯЗЫК)

У лягушки длиннющий язык.
Он сейчас перед мухой возник,
И нашла любопытная муха
Свою смерть в животе у лягухи.

The frog has a very long tongue.
It now appeared in front of the fly,
and the curious fly found
its death in the belly of a frog.
