Sylvester The Fish Poem by Mimie Durand

Sylvester the fish
swam around in a dish,
mother used it one day
Sylvester’s gone away.

Raymond was a squirrel
on a bird feeder he’d whirl,
round and round he’d go
where he’d land-who would know?

Bernard was a dog
he barked like a frog,
on a lillie pad he’d sit
fell off and had a fit.

Maggie was a bird
she was so absurd,
she liked to eat cake
for goodness sake!

Julius was an opossum
when you’d eat he’d want some,
one day he ate a flower
it was horribly sour,

Sylvester, Raymond, Bernard,
Maggie and Julius
went to play in the park one day,
the park was closed; they were furious.
