CHANGES I haven't felt so funny Since the day we left our eggs. Some bumps are growing near my tail, They really look like legs. Well, legs are good for swimming And flippers have their charms, But what's this coming through my chest? This time I'm getting arms. I'm a funny sort of tadpole, My tail is hardly there. I used to gulp the water, But now I'm breathing air. It makes me feel like croaking As I sit upon this log. I'm not a tadpole any more - I've turned into a frog! Listen to the Frog by Susan M. Paprocki Listen to the frog, Croaking on a log. He croaks about this And he croaks about that. It seems very clear That he needs to chat. Ribbet, ribbet, ribbet. My Promise Each day I'll do my best, And I won't do any less. My work will always please me, And I won't accept a mess. I'll colour very carefully, My writing will be neat. And I simply won't be happy 'Til my papers are complete. I'll always do my homework, And I'll try on evey test. And I won't forget my promise -- To do my very best! Important Rules Here are some rules for you and me, See how important they can be. Always be honest, be kind and fair, Always be good and willing to share. These are rules we all should know, We follow these rules wherever we go. Friendship's Rule M. Lucille Ford Our teacher says there is a rule We should remember while at school, At home, at play, whate'er we do, And that's the rule of friendship true. If you would have friends, you must do To them the kindly things that you Would like to have them do and say To you while at your work and play. And that's the rule of friendship true; It works in all we say and do. It pays to be a friend polite, For friendship's rule is always right.
