Don'T Let the Parade Pass You By

Tadpoles in pond.
Growing bigger ev'ry day
Soon will become frogs.

Ponds have lilly pads.
Which tadpoles like to ride on.
Croaking all day long.

Lilly pads float by
As frogs are on parade.
Waving as they pass.

Tadpoles still grow.
Choosing their own way to go.
Parade passes them!
