Be ready to live like an amphibian... தவளை மாதிரி வாழக் கத்துக்கோங்க!

Be ready to live like an amphibian...

Living both on land and in water,

Tackling situations so very much better.

So careful, not making it bitter,

Making life so much sweeter.

Stretching tongue to catch prey easier,

Aiming at insects to eat tastier.

Leaping onto objects very much faster,

Performing a sound as a croaker.

Laying in thousands,

A spell with tadpoles so clear,

Falling prey to creepers without any delay.

Though messy and ugly,

Adjusting to situations with clever dimensions,

Never to be caught by men on any occasion,

Afraid of showering its waste on the predator.

A life like an amphibian,

So adjustable to situations,

Seen taking greater precautions.

Rotating eyes with concentration,

An amphibian instantly matching its lifestyle—

Adapting and adopting transactions,

A highly applaudable transformation!
