Fred The Frog Poem by Jeanne Fiedler

Fred is a frog
He is my friend
He leaps with me
It's a new trend

Whenever I step back
I feel terribly sad
Fred says, 'Ed-it, '
Which stops all the bad

We take two hops ahead
'Ed-it' all things mean
Like fights with my friend
Or having a bad dream

Fred holds my hand
We then close our eyes
and hop til we land
in a place of surprise!

Where only good things are
for my Fred and me
Fred 'Ed-its' and stops
All things that are nasty

I will grow up
Fred right next to me
We will hop and hop
Life will be happy

We'll grow up to be right and good
and 'Ed-it' everything we should!
