  I can't help thinking you have more than one show here.  The line
"Plunk your magic twanger, Froggie" was regularly delivered to Froggie
the Gremlin by the host of "Smilin' Ed McConnell and the Buster Brown
Gang."  Froggie would appear magically as Ed started a story, and
interrupt him with humorous endings to his sentences.
  The only other thing I remember about the show is that they had a
regular who spoke only in verse (called, I think, Mr. Poet.)
