There was a frog
who wanted to dance.
He begged his mom
to have a chance
to take lessons
and learn the samba.
He also wanted
to cha cha and mamba.
He tried to be graceful
when he danced the waltz
but his teacher pointed
to his big feet faults.
He did lack rhythm
couldn't hear the beat
in fact he had
two left feet.
There was one dance
he liked a heap.
It was the dance
where he could leap.
So while other frogs
went out to play,
this young frog
practiced ballet.
Joy,
ReplyDeleteCool idea! I imagine frogs have been pictured doing volumes of things. I saw an illustration today of a frog sliding down a slippery slope on a lilly pad. What a fun collection this could be.
Very cute! WHo would ever have thought of marrying ballet with frogs? I think this might be my new favorite!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol.

One of your best poems yet, Joy - a "frogalina"!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the grin on this Wednesday morning. =)
Thank you Bridget.
DeleteI'll have to get out my colored pencils and see if I can draw a frog in a tutu.
