A Pete the Frog Story

Do you remember Pete the Frog?
He lives out back, under that log?

I have a quick story to tell —
how Pete put me under his spell.

Oops, did I forget to mention?
Pete is a magical frog.
Now I have your full attention!

One day I was out in the back
thinking about having a snack.

I wasn’t sure what I wanted —
felt like crunch was what I hunted.

Pete saw me making up my mind.
He croaked out loud “Eat what you find!”

“In fact there is a worm right there.
If you pull soft it will not tear.”

And even though I was surprised,
I leaned right down and scrunched my eyes,

I pulled that worm out of the ground
and showed old Pete what I had found!

He quickly used his tongue to grab
the little worm that I had nabbed.

So, Pete the Frog, he got a snack!
I stood there like a poor sad sack!

Pete then released me from his grip.
I walked inside and had some chips!
