The irony in the poem is revealed in the frog's hypocrisy. At the beginning when the nightingale arrives at Bingle Bog, and casts a melodious spell on all the creatures. The jealous frog intentionally does not praise her. When she asks him how well her son was, he replies, "Not to bad-but far too long..." Later, at the end, after he has succeeded in getting rid of her he says, "Well, poor bird- she should have known
That your song must be your own."
This is the irony of the viciousness and selfishness prevalent in the society. People who are far less talented, have the power and authority and the means to decide the fate of those who though are far more talented, but don't have the resources at their command.
