Two Young Tadpoles

Long ago and far away In a marsh of murky waters Did two young tadpoles play Mired deep inside the bog Succumbing to relentless fog ~ Divers only found a pair of frogs

Why dies everything have to grow up, the wonders of nature I suppose. Who didn't have a big jar of spawn and watch little kermits emerge.

Two great questions, T.C. Can't say that I can answer them. At any rate, it appears that you already have. :) gw

I can't stop reading this one. Love the melody of it... I love the fact that you have a beginning and an end - no middle.

Gee! I wonder where the tadpoles went? I kid you not. I know ten year olds who would not understand this poem. We do not teach science now until the 5th grade.

C'mon! No science until grade five?! Unbelievable, with all the emphasis on STEM courses in high school and college. Even in the Jewish schools in Chicago, which tend to be really conservative, they start science in kindergarden or first grade, depending on the school. Wow. I'm truly shocked. Anyway, thanks for weighing in on this one. :) gw
