Old Toby the toad was sitting all alone.
When Billy the bullfrog started singing a song.

Old Billy was singing here we are just us two.
All alone with nothing to do.

Toby looked at Billy and thought he saw a tear fall.
When out of the pond he heard Freddy the fish call.

You`re not all alone you`ve got me.
Look there stands Davey the deer out by the tree.

Look in the tree up in her nest.
There sits Mrs Blurjay taking a rest.

There`s Dolly the dog having a fit.
She`s chasing Cassie the cat who knows she won`t get bit.

There`s Callie the cow out in the barn.
Where Jackie the jackass is spining another yarn.

Out in the mudhole lays Harold the hog.
He`s watching Spunky the spider crawling up the log.

There`s Mary Sue such a cute little girl.
Don`t you all know that you`re her whole world?

She wheels herself out to you in her wheelchair.
With a smile on her face because she knows you`ll be there.

We all need friends no matter who or what they may be.
Because this world without friends I would hate to see.

This is fantastic!   It was great without the smilies, but they're so cute! I love it.

Such fun! This poem is a real treat! Gee, I've read three poems so far...one about the lawn ranger, one about a toad and one about a child crawling up daddy's leg, making him smile.....WHERE AM I? This is WONDERFUL!!  


Don't cry, girl. Some of us take a little longer getting here but we do....
