Pierre the Frog's Magic Birthday Paintbrush

It was Pierre the frog's birthday

But outside, all the world was cold and grey

Snow had fallen on the ground

The pond was slippy and there was fog all around...

Even the log on which Pierre was sat

Was covered in frost and mist covered the bog, in fact !

At minus ten degrees, Pierre started to sneeze....

An icy wind blew in through the trees

But all was not lost when, through the post,

Pierre got a parcel (as he was eating his toast !)

He opened it up to see what was the surprise ?...

A magic paintbrush ! He couldn't believe his froggy eyes !

Quickly he set about painting the world

With a little bit of magic moondust from a box he unfurled...

With a swish, all the colours of the rainbow appeared....

The ducks quacked loudly and the fishermen cheered !

Instead of grey water, there was blue....

The trees were green and flowers popped up, too !

A little splatter with the brush...

Around the pond caused quite a fuss !

As the magic paint splashed,

Fairy lights flashed.....it was hardly surprising that some of the colours clashed !

Instead of yellow, the ducks were pink....

And what colour were the fish do you think ?!
