Frogs and Ostriches

Poem for All

Kady Birdwhistle

You are a frog
I am an ostrich

If you are a hippo taking a bath in spring waters
Then I am a Harp seal swimming throught the ice

You are a wombat
I am a sloth

If you are a giraffe eating your daily greens
Then I am the penguin waddling over the snow

You are a tortoise
I am the guppie

If you are a sea lion snacking on some fresh fish
Then I am a jellfyfish transparent and squishy

You are a chimpanzee
I am the silly gorilla

If you are the zebra galloping across the flatland
I am the toucan with ten-million beaked-colors

Whatever you are lion, mouse, meerkat, chameleon or stingray
Whatever I am snake, tree frog, lizard, baboon or iguana

Let's be friends
Now until the end
