Billy and the Frogs Billy was a boy of ten living with nine girls His life was one of grief a bloke among nine pearls There was no relief in sight that he could plainly see He’d have to have a plan to help to set him free One girl was bad enough poor Billy lived with nine He was tired of nine girls making him walk the line One day Billy was outside playing with his ball He heard a loud “rivet” an undeniable frog call A smile crossed his face his heart filled with cheer He had an awesome idea to fill his sisters’ hearts with fear He took the frog to Sally’s room placed him in her bed He quietly sneaked down the hall listening to what might be said That night Sally went to bed and settled down to sleep There came the sound of “rivet” Sally screamed, then began to weep No one seemed to know how the frog got into Sally’s bed Billy only smiled and thought "Those girls have much more to dread" Judy, the next day at school, opened her lunch pail A startling“rivet” could be heard Judy loudly began to wail When Susie Lee put on her shoes there was something in the toe “Rivet, rivet” came from the shoe The frogs simply had to go Leah and Sarah found frogs in the pockets of their jeans The girls of Billy’s family were ready to call out the marines Billy’s Mother kept an eye upon her only son She had a strong suspicion he was having too much fun That night Billy carried some frogs in a sack down the hall To his surprise there stood Mom he knew, trouble to him, would befall “Billy” she said in a stern voice “What is that in your hand” “Oh, nothing, Mom” he squeaked This felt like Custer’s last stand “Give me the sack,” his Mother said Billy’s back was against the wall He handed the sack to her there was a sickening pall Billy’s Mom took him by the hand and led him to his room He walked inside; to his surprise frogs were jumping around“Kaboom” Everywhere he looked he saw a frog “Rivet, rivet,” was what he heard It looked like the tables had turned his room was a theater of the absurd The lesson for Billy was painful to say the very least The frogs lived in his room until his Mother’s anger ceased The moral of the story is this always be kind to your sisters You never know what to expect when you’re a bumbling Mister Written by, Wanda L.

Noah; Perhaps "GIRL POWER" would be a good title for another poem. (Smiles) Thank you for your kind words. Wanda |
