Frogs at School

Twenty froggies went to school

Down beside a rushy pool.

Twenty little coats of green,

Twenty vests all white, and clean.

“We must be in time,” said they;

“First we study, then we play;

That is how we keep the rule,

When we froggies go to school.”

Twenty froggies grew up fast;

Bullfrogs they became at last.

Not one dunce among the lot,

Not one lesson they forgot.

Polished in a high degree,

As each froggie ought to be,

Now they sit on other logs,

Teaching other little frogs.
