Tadpoles Hide Under Duckweed Tadpoles hide under duckweed, And they dash about at speed, “This one’s got legs! And Look! There’s some eggs!” Those tadpoles should hide indeed! Mr. Hedgehog looks drowsy, To him daylight is lousy, some water to drink, brush off fleas in a blink Off he trots, he’s no longer frowsy! Sparrows they flit from the birdbath, And Miss Squirrel uses our fence as a path, All through the garden, Life does awaken, My, what an impact springtime hath! Breseya Clark
