About This Author
Well, hello. Iām still testing this.

Miss Froggy Miss Froggy spends her days on the pond
Flies are a food of which she is fond.
Sitting on lily pads, eating away
Resting in sunshine, on water all day.
She never has time to feel sad or blue
There's so much outside to see and to do.
Chatting with otters, muskrats and fish
Who spend their days busily as they wish.
In autumn when leaves turn golden and brown
Miss Froggy eats extra and then hunkers down;
Into the mud she digs a hole very steep
And spends the long winter in slumber so deep.
Waiting for warmth and sunshine to return
To thaw out her pond and sprout the green ferns.
One spring was different, a sight to behold
Miss Froggy became a mom to little tadpoles
They swam in circles around Mama so proud
On warm spring evenings they peeped quite loud.
The pond became busy, with young critters abounding
Tadpoles metamorphosed, safe in their surroundings.
One day they'll all be grown-up young frogs
Finding their way to new ponds and bogs.
And Miss Froggy once more will spend her days in the sun
Eating pesky flies and enjoying each one.
