A pink tongue?

Suzy was a pink-tongue-ed, muddy brown frog with cream colour spots all over her, who made me wonder all the time how she got her tongue pink. She was a plump little frog who ate more than leaped. Frogs as you know at any point of time do any of the following four activities _
*Eat, they stick their looooooong tongue out at this cute little thing flying past and zap it in, all in a half moment, much too fast for the cute little thing to realise it was in and not out the next moment.
*Mate, they make those horrid croaking sounds, sometimes only the male ones, sometimes the female ones too, but horrid croaking noises it is and then they sit atop each other and mate for hours together.
*Sleep, now this one's a toughie, you might hardly ever have spotted a frog asleep. They don't possess a single eyelid, so its real tough to guess they are sleeping and if you got too close observing... poooh they'd wake up. Most guys who study frogs say frogs never sleep but I disagree knowing fully well how much Suzy sleeps :)
*Leap, this is not just sleep without the s, they are leaping to mate or they are leaping to eat, leaping is a way of life and I loved the way Suzy did it, almost like she were dancing over the pebbles.
Now getting back to Suzy, so as I was saying, Suzy ate more than she leaped and she leaped more than she mated but most of all she slept, slept a slow sweet slumber, or thats what she called it.
But the other day when I saw her at the mela, I felt stumped with the answer. She was neither eating nor was she mating nor sleeping nor leaping. She was licking this hugggge pink-est cottony candy. She seemed too engrossed in her candy at hand to bother with the usual croaky 'hi', moreover, I was scared she might stick out her sticky, pinky hands for a handshake. All this while I sat on that bench by the giant wheel with a giant pink cotton candy in my hand ;)

There went the froggie dear,
Leap, Leap, Peeeemp blowing a horn,
And this is what she did all year,
Right from the time she was born.

Loved the froggie hogging on cotton candy...can conjure up the image....nice thought that...
