"Tall Tales"

By: Khatoon Hazara

There was a fish in a pond

A frog on the shore

A moose in the grass, but he was a bore

There were mice who loved cheese, looking for more

There was a cat that banged his head on a door

A gaggle of geese, cute as can be

And a doctor running on an injured knee

Well, no one could look as good as me

Try as you may, if you please

Can you bend and hop and jump on one knee?

If you get hurt, please don't blame me

There were mice who can run

And mice who can skip

But Tally the mouse

Had too much lip

She boasted and roared

About her smashing school scores

As she ran and ran and ran

She never made it to the end

Maybe that's why she had no friends

So that's when a new era began
