The Bull Frog Band
A turtle and a muskrat Sit together on a log Crickets chirp in grasses At the edges of the bog. Half above, stars twinkle All around the moon. Owls gather in the trees The music will start soon. The baby chipmunks chatter Til their mother says, "Be still." Nearby a little tree toad softly starts to trill. One by one the froggies come. Each takes a lily pad. At last the band begins to play. Everyone is glad The music from the lily pond Is absolutely grand! Everyone is listening To the bull frog band. by: Phyllis J. Perry |
