Frog Town

I once saw a frog,
hopping around.
I followed it down to the little frog town.

It was built in a log
by a frog crew of frogs

I saw the frog mayor.
She wore a large hat.
It was silver.
And gold.
Can you believe that?

The frog school of frogs
Was also inside.
And the bus driver gave all the young frogs a ride.

The Great Hill

Before time was time, there was a Great Hill.
And on the Great Hill there lived the Yolks.
The Yolks spent their entire lives climbing the Great Hill, trying to reach the top.

Some Yolks climbed fast.
Some Yolks climbed slowly.
One Yolk in particular was a very slow climber. He was different than the rest of the Yolks.

When he [...]

The Indestructible Pudgy-O

Pudgy-O was born with a big belly. In the center of his belly was a belly button – not a belly button like you or I have, but an actual button! Mudgy and Budgy were his mom and dad, and when they saw his button, they thought, he is special.

When Pudgy-O was little, he learned [...]

Worstday Birthday Party

Today was the day that my sister turned eight.
At times it was sour, but started off great.

We disguised the surprise of a party at night.
The balloons filled the room, which was really a sight.

By request every guest came around to the back,
To ensure, that for her, the surprise stayed intact.

And at five she arrived, so [...]

Bearpaws Nathan Zebratail

There was once a boy named Nathan Green.
He was never rude and never mean.
But everyone was scared of him,
Nancy, Dennis, Tom and Tim.

Nick and Susan, Mike and James,
Never let him play their games.
He knew why, but didn’t say.
His mom said he was born that way.

Nathan’s hands aren’t [...]

Tremendous Stupendous!

It was the day that Farmer Duff waited for all year round:  Today was Family Funday Sunday! The kids came rushing onto the farm as soon as the gates opened. They fed the goats. They rode the horses. They watched the pigs roll in the mud and tried to jump in [...]

My Dog Is From Neptune

Don’t get me wrong, I think my dog is the greatest, but it just so happens that he’s not from this planet.

My parents are part-time astronauts, and one weekend they took a trip to Neptune (they love it in the summer).  Sometimes when they go to outer space, they bring me back space [...]

Martin and the Wave

Martin was hot as he sat by the shore.
They’d come for the ocean, but he liked the sand more.
“The water is fine, come on in!” said his dad.
But the waves looked so big, that idea sounded bad.

His mother insisted, “You should go in.”
No point in fighting- his mother would win.
She covered his face up with [...]
