Teeny Weeny Pollywog
22 February, 2007
Author: Robert
Teeny Weeny Pollywog
lost his little tail,
he looked all over for it
but it was to no avail.
Then Teeny Weeny Pollywog
grew himself some feet,
he climbed up on a lily pad
and made some sounds so sweet.
Now Teeny Weeny Pollywog
has become a little frog.
You can find him by the riverbank
sunning on a log.
Sitting there so patiently
as if without a care,
hoping that his sticky tongue
might catch the unaware.
Now little Teeny Weeny Pollywog
isn't teeny any more.
He's built himself a happy home,
has a wife he does adore.
He has a bunch of children
as cute as they could be,
but he wonders why they have those tails,
"Why don't they look like me?"
And now you know the story
of Teeny Weeny Pollywog
who lost his tail and grew some feet
and now he is a frog.

| Catyrose (128.123.85.206) -- Friday, February 23 2007, 06:36 am I really enjoyed this one too. And I'm sure my grandchild will as well when I read it to her. She is really into frogs :) Thanks for sharing. |
| Bipedalguy (4.156.144.120) -- Friday, February 23 2007, 07:25 pm Great poem, Robert. In my comment title I used the term 'tad', which is, of course short for Tadpole. This reminds me of my youth when I would catch Polywogs, and keep them in a jar of water with holes punched into the cap. |
