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.
