National Poetry Month: “The Frogs Wore Red Suspenders” by Jack Prelutsky

I am a Jack Prelutsky fan. His poems are humorous and well written. The Frogs Wore Red Suspenders does not disappoint. Here is a poem from this collection that I enjoyed.

The Frogs Wore Red Suspenders

The frogs wore red suspenders

and the pigs wore purple vests,

as they sang to all the chickens

and the ducks upon their nests.

They croaked and oinked a serenade,

the ducks and chickens sighed,

then laid enormous spangled eggs,

and quaked and clucked with pride.

Happy National Poetry Month !
