Went to a frog jumping contest
in the country.
Oh they jumped far
they jumped wide
The fastest frog had the farmer's son
and they were both so fast
that no one saw them leave
no one saw them come
I once had me a girl
who shined like the sun
she sparkled like the stars
I saw her come
I saw her leave
the sun in the morning
a star in the evening
both too far to grasp
to high to reach
just like country
and her frogs
and the farmer
and his children. (c) Terrell Neuage 1973 New Orleans

About Dr. Terrell Neuage
Neo-noir Neuage is a revival of noir Neuage textuality, a genre that flourished during the neo noir post-hippie era —roughly from 1970 to 2015 following the Neuage-Textuality hippie era of the 1960s. Post Neo-noir Neuage is the present time mate. [there was also the short-lived Fucked Poetry of Neuage - but we have gone pass that era...thankfully.] SEE Content/Indexof all for this cycle. To add to the possible confusion, Terrell Neuage was Terrell Adsit pre-1980 when it was changed to Neuage in Hawaii in 1980. Why the name Neuage?
