This is a request ficlet for anonymous, in response to the prompt: something involving Team 7, a D-rank mission gone horribly wrong, and the phrase 'exploding frogs'.
I couldn't get anywhere with this one until it occurred to me to try my hand at literary pastiche. I owe sincere apologies to Rudyard Kipling and his Just So Stories, which I have shamelessly imitated. (Seriously. I even included two verses of doggerel at the end, for stylistic verisimilitude.)
This is absolutely not canon at all. It is complete and utter crack. (ff.net version)

...You know, that particular narrative voice is harder than it looks!
