Kangaroos and frogs

Wordle: Kangaroos and frogs
Kangaroos and frogs?
What have they in common?
Well, if you want to know
Kangaroos and frogs
Have something in common      
They are hopping creatures!
Don’t be silly says the Aussie
It’s not like that, let’s not have a kangaroo court!
He’s got a lose roo in the upper paddock!
What have you  got froggie?
Une araignée au plafond, bien sûr!
Not bad I have to say
What about: to have a frog in one’s throat?
We prefer:  avoir un chat dans la gorge, if you don’t mind.
And by the way what would you answer to :
Avoir la chair de poule?
Easy one: To have goose pimple!
Humph, Needles and pins?
Fourmis dans les jambes!
We win, we win, more animal analogies !
Courir deux lièvres à la fois
To have one's finger in one more pie.
Try this one : Comme un poisson dans l’eau
As a duck takes to water, far too easy
May be this one then:
Prendre le taureau par les cornes
Take the bull by the horns!
A draw here, don’t you think?
Yes, well then your turn to suggest.
