A frog is hoping towards a log lying 10 feet in front of him. The frog moves at a constant rate, but with each hop, he loses a fixed amount of energy, therefore the length of each hop is HALF that of the hope before it. As such the frog will continue to hop for infinity, each hop shorter than the one before, always mover closer to the log but NEVER reaching it.
I thought:
Dear God is that right?
Why that poor green frogs plight!
He'll keep hopping his way to that log in his sight
And he'll NEVER get there?
But that's wrong! That's not FAIR!
He'll keep hopping ahead with no gain for his might
Then out of the blue
It hit me and I knew
That this problem was ME and I was a frog too!
Always hopping around
Only losing more ground
Never reaching the log as I push my way through
Well great, I'm a frog
And my life's one huge bog
And around me more animals hop, crawl and jog
Losing strength with each leap
Planting fields we won't reap
And never quite reaching the DAD BLASTED LOG!
