Catherine Clementine Clogg

Hello there my little friendlies I'm Archibald Denton Frog I'm here to tell you the story Of Catherine Clemetine Clogg! Clemmie as she's always been known To a bunch of her closest friends Has a wonderful talent for juggling While sitting on her bottom end! That may not sound so astonishing But imagine the things she juggles Kangaroos and a big mouth bass And soap that causes big bubbles! But awkward things like soccer balls Or a pair of Grandpa's false teeth A ten pound bag of Kibbles 'n Bits Can certainly cause Clemmie some grief! Let's give this lady a big hurrah As she entertains all the wee kiddles Keeps on juggling for many long hours Till she finally needs to go piddle! Oh my goodness did I say piddle? What a naughty word I just uttered That bar of soap is now in my mouth Making me choke and sputter! Archibald Denton Frog signing off With a moral right at the end Enjoy the talents of dear Clementine But never use bad words that offend! © Jack Ellison 2012

I can also see this one as a kid's storybook. Some great lines in this one! Love your signature humor there at the end! Always, Laura

Thank you my dear Joan! I have written a number of others like this for children. Wasn't sure about posting them... think I might. Love and hugs, Jack
