A Boy And A Frog (Kids Stuff) Poem by Sally Plumb Plumb

A Boy And A Frog (Kids Stuff)



The great, green gob
was opened wide
and a wriggling worm
was fed inside.

The boy said, 'Mum,
the frog he comes
and sees me every day,
but a grass snake lurks
and slyly works
his slithers by the way'.

Then the snake, like lightning,
makes a strike.
The boy he quickly starts
and jaws around
the great, green gob
are gently eased apart.

Now frog and snake
their freedom take
from the boy
with a pounding heart.

from the boy with a pounding heart. .................. THESE are my favorite lines. the poem reminds me of my youth and encounters with frogs and snakes. have YOU ever had a snake POOP on YOU? ? i did. yuck; stinky! a true story, i believe. anyone you know? i mean the boy? or are you 'the boy'? i 'love' the whole poem, but especially the second and third stanzas. great rhyming. you say a LOT in a 'few' words. thanks for sharing. bri :)

The boy was my ten year old son, Daniel. Glad you can appreciate the experience. Best regards. Sally.
