The Legend of Goliath the Frog

Goliath the frog was gigantic in size,
often ridiculed out of despise.
 
He measured as high as six feet tall
and labeled the number one oddball.
 
But one day, at Frogville's annual event,
intruders stormed in with malicious intent.
 
"Yummy! Delicious frog legs," they said.
"Perfect for tonight's dinner spread!”
 
Goliath watched quietly from up on his log
as they began caging each and every frog.
 
Then suddenly he leaped with all his might,
straight into town to defend their rights.

"Set them free!" He croaked. "Or deal with me!"
"Our legs are for jumpin'; not for munchin'!"
 
Shocked at Goliath's enormous size,
the villains ran off with fear in their eyes.
 
All the Frogvillians cheered "HORRAY!
Thank you Goliath for saving the day."

Later, they gave him an award of distinction
for saving the frogs from extinction.
 
And although he is now dead and gone,
the legend of Goliath the frog still lives on!

My Mother

My mother takes me to different places
and laughs at all my silly faces.

She runs me a nice warm bath
and helps me with my math.

My mother makes me healthy snacks to eat
and sometimes let's me have a treat.

She takes care of me when I'm hurt 
and cleans me up when I'm covered in dirt.

My mother talks to me about all the dangers
and reminds me not to talk to strangers.

She tells me not to lie
and wipes my tears when I cry.

My mother always brushes my hair
and teaches me how to share.

She claps for me when I'm right
and comforts me in the night.

My mother is 5 feet, 4 inches tall
and she is the best mother of all!

Sweet Willow Tree

Down by the lake, planted magically nearby
Stands a sweet willow tree forty feet high.
 
The crystallized tree glitters so bright;
Bursting with colours of candy delights.
 
Children from all over visit each day
To gather and gaze the delicious array.
 
Circling the tree, they dance around;
Hand in hand, like a merry-go-round.
 
Their energy stirs such a powerful swirl,
Sending the branches into a twirl.
 
Dangling bonbons begin to fall;
Baskets are filled leaving nothing at all.

Twilight arrives with its colourful glow
And sugar filled blossoms begin to grow.
 
By morning the willow is flourished and sweet,
Ready for the day's visitors to greet!
