The Frog Who Dreamt She Was an Opera Singer
by Jackie Kay

There once was a frog

who dreamed she was an opera singer.
She wished so hard she grew a long throat
and a beautiful polkadot green coat
and intense opera singer's eyes.
But she couldn't grow tall.
She just couldn't grow tall.
She leaped to the Queen Elizabeth Hall,
practising her sonata all the way.
Her voice was promising and lovely.
She couldn't wait to leapfrog on to the stage.

She had quite a presence on the stage.

All the audience in the Queen Elizabeth Hall,

gasped to see one so small sing like that.

Her voice trembled and swelled

and filled with colour.

The frog was some opera singer.
