| The Excuse written by William Henry Davies |
| From "Forty New Poems", (1918) |
' Why did you kill that harmless frog?
Tell me, my little boy,'
He hung his head for shame, and gone
Was all his joy.
But now a thought comes to his mind,
He lifts his head with pride:
'I only half-killed it,' he said -
'And then it died.'
