A Little Poem 

It was a morning

full of fog

Little Zayn and

 his little dog

chased and jumped

on a giant frog

what they caught

was a wild hog.

A Little Poem

Little Zayn

loved  butterflies

they were there

of every size

 with beautiful wings

 and tiny eyes

flying freely

in deep blue skies.

Ten Big frogs

Little Zayn went to the school

and his bag was rather full.

In his bag were ten big frogs

and his lunch of two hot dogs.

He knew it would be real fun

when all frogs would jump and run.

He would eat his two hot dogs

every one would scream at frogs.

Elephant's Wish

An elephant wished 

he could fly

He wanted to reach 

the deep blue sky

He ran to a pigeon

he couldn’t wait

He woke up the pigeon 

who slept till eight

“Sir, I wish 

I could also fly

I wish I could 

go up high and high

I know you are 

truly a great flier

And you are quick 

and quite clever

Please help me 

and give me a tip or two

Please I want to fly 

just like you”

Pigeon was awake 

but half asleep

His heart  thumped 

and it took a leap

He looked at the elephant 

and quietly pondered

What could he say

that he wondered

His words would surely 

cause dismay

Very politely then 

he began to say

“Sir, it’s my wings 

that help me fly

Wings flutter

and I fly”

Elephant was surely 

and surely dismayed

He had no wings 

that could come to his aid

He looked at the sky 

and let out a grunt

He thanked the pigeon 

for not being blunt

“Sir, I am happy 

as I am

For there is no one here

as powerful as I am.”

Dental Care

Perched on trees

near the swamps,

little plovers await

 crocs from swamps.

Crocs are swimming

in muddy waters,

 they hunt the fish

 and tasty turtles.

 Crocs return when

their bellies are full,

crocs relax with

 their bellies full.

Crocs recline and

 love the mild sun,

every croc has his

  mouth wide open.

 Their teeth are dirty

and need a clean,

 bits of meat are

stuck in between.

Little plovers

 jump and bob,

 into big mouths

they boldly hop.

They pick the pieces

stuck in upper teeth,

and even in teeth

that are underneath.

Crocs are happy

 they get a dental care,

little plovers enjoy

a healthy fare.

Hungry Dog

A hungry dog found

a meaty bone,

and he wanted to enjoy

it all alone.

But his friends

were already there,

and they gave him

a dirty stare.

They were angry

and for a reason,

they had shared meals

all through season.

They glared and

bared their fangs,

and they were really

a nasty gang.

 Hungry dog tried

to sneak away,

but, alas, that day

was not his day.

 He chose to beat

a hasty retreat,

and with friends

he shared his treat.

The Flying Fish

A flying fish

looked at the sky,

there was an eagle

flying high.

The flying fish

loved to fly,

it jumped out of the sea

and aimed for the sky.

The flying eagle

looked at the sea,

one flying fish

 he could see.

The flying eagle

 dived from the sky

 to catch the silly fish

 aiming for the sky.

 The flying fish

looked at the sky,

 there was an eagle

diving from the sky.

The flying fish

turned its tail

and reached the sea

hearty and hale.

The flying fish

uttered a sigh

and never again

aimed for the sky.
