Remember this, big brothers?

This is my latest attempt at poerty. Based on a true event, which you may or may not remember.

Polliwogged

Polliwogs,

Tiny Frogs to be,

Ziz zag non-stop,

Caught

In a bucket.

"In here," big brothers say.

"Put your feet.

It'll be fun."

I wonder.

Will this be like,

"Open your mouth,

Close your eyes,

Take a bite"?

Yuck!

Or

"Lift your chin.

Dandelions know

If you like butter."?

Hey!

I wonder.

But I try

Anyway.

Bare toes,

Brown from summer sun,

Take a dip.

I hold my breath,

Wait,

Then I smile.

Big Brothers were right.

Polliwogs tickle.
