The Myfanwy And Friend Advent Calendar - Day Fourteen

After the Friday dance interlude we're back to weird old Christmas cards, and this puzzling frog based mishap.

#MyfanwyAndFriend #xmasScribbles
An old illustrated Christmas card. At the top it says "A hearty Christmas greeting" and at the bottom right there is a rhyme:

Four jovial froggies 
a skating would go;
They had asked their mamma,
but she'd sternly said "No!"
And they all came to grief in a beautiful row.
There's a sweet Christmas moral for one not too slow.
Just so!

Read the last line as "Just go!" to start with, but what would be the g isn't the same as the one in froggies, so I think it's an s.

Anyhow, in this version froggie number 4 is Friend, a simple drawn figure, wearing a frog hat. Myfanwy, a large knitted chicken, watches them from behind a fence.
She’s a wise hen.
I did contemplate adding her in to the line, but it wasn't right.
