During the 2009/2010 school year, Page 15 worked with Nap Ford Community School’s gifted and talented class on a literary magazine project. This poem was part of an activity in our poetry unit. Students had to pick an animal from one hat and an adjective from another, and write a poem based on their choices. The game yielded some funny results and some great poetry.

There once was an Itchy Frog.
He lived in a log.
He liked to eat itchy flies.
He loved to jump high.
His town is called Itchy City.
He messed with some itchy ktties.
That was the end of Itchy Frog.
