In the year of 1917, a momentous time,

Amidst the Russian Revolution, a paradigm,

A figure emerged, a leader so bold,

But fate had a twist, a tale to be told.


Vladimir Lenin, with ideals burning bright,

Led the Bolsheviks, their cause taking flight,

But destiny, fickle, had a different plan,

Transforming Lenin into a creature so grand.


The revolution surged, the people's cry,

But as Lenin spoke, a change caught his eye,

His form shifted, his body rearranged,

From a man to a frog, a transformation so strange.


Confusion descended upon the revolution's stage,

As Lenin, now a frog, hopped onto history's page,

His words, once commanding, now croaked in the air,

As he struggled to adapt, his new life to bear.


The people, astonished, recoiled in surprise,

Witnessing their leader's unexpected guise,

Yet, in their hearts, his ideals still burned,

For it was his vision that the people yearned.


Lenin, the frog, hopped amidst the turmoil,

Navigating a world now strange and coil,

He croaked of revolution, from his amphibian perch,

Inspiring the masses, despite his altered search.


His amphibious presence became symbolic, you see,

Of the revolution's spirit, of ideals running free,

A reminder that leaders, no matter their guise,

Could inspire change, even with different eyes.


The frog-Lenin, with leaps both small and wide,

Embodied resilience, adapting with pride,

He hopped through challenges, undeterred,

A symbol of revolution, in every word.


Though frogs may not rule, their influence profound,

Lenin, the frog, left his mark on the ground,

His ideas, like ripples, spread far and wide,

Transforming the nation, with revolutionary tide.


And when the time came, as history recalls,

The frog shed its skin, revealing Lenin in its walls,

His transformation complete, a leader reborn,

But forever remembered as the frog that was borne.


In the annals of time, this tale remains,

Of Lenin, the frog, and his revolutionary reins,

A reminder that change can come in disguise,

And leaders can emerge, from unexpected skies.
