Ribbit's Lament

Why I am the size of flower,
find myself bereft of power,
when it was reverse just an hour
ago?

    Although I do remember
tied down in a cold December
morning's bed, oh did I feel dread
while my dear, beloved sister
stoked embers under a cistern
to cast a spell from depths of hell,
and take from me (how I did plea!)
my empire.

    On fire, I feel now
and in front of bugs I will avow
to take it back and give a whack,
to that sister of mine's behind,
and write this epic’s last line.
