Poems
The Hummingbird
by Jack Prelutsky
The ruby-throated hummingbird is hardly bigger than this WORD.
The Frog
author unknown
What a wonderful bird the frog are—
When he stand he sit almost;
When he hop, he fly almost.
He ain’t got no sense hardly;
He ain’t got no tail hardly either.
When he sit, he sit on what he ain’t got almost.
The Hound
by Kaye Starbird
It’s funny to look at a hurrying hound Pursuing a scent that’s
attractive.
He gallops around
With his nose to the ground
And only the back of him active.
The Lizard
by John Gardner
The Lizard is a timid thing
That cannot dance or fly or sing;
He hunts for bugs beneath the floor And longs to be a dinosaur.
