Traveling Frog

[Diane Amberg]

 I wrote this silly little poem for school. It can have movements and finger play and creative drawings.

                   Traveling Frog

       A little green frog in a tall willow sat.
       Watching the road for a man in a hat.
       Wearing a hat with a wide, wide brim,
       not just a little one, small and so trim.
       Here came such a man, with a great long stride.
       On jumped the frog, to take a short ride.
       He crouched on the hat, the man didn't know.   
       Now where do you think this frog wants to go?


        Along a small pond, the man walked so slow.
       "Now is my chance," thought frog, "I can go."
        So outward he leaped, 'way out in the air,
        gliding down to a lilypad floating right there.
         "Thanks," chirped the frog to the man in the hat,
          who never did know where froggie had sat.
