Growing Up [poem by C. J. Dennis]

[Editor: This poem by C. J. Dennis was published in A Book for Kids, 1921.]

Growing Up

Little Tommy Tadpole began to weep and wail,
For little Tommy Tadpole had lost his little tail,
And his mother didn’t know him, as he wept upon a log;
For he wasn’t Tommy Tadpole, but Mr. Thomas Frog.
