Twenty Roadrunners

(Based on the poem “Twenty Froggies” by George Cooper)

Twenty roadrunners went to school
Where the desert heat is cruel
Twenty feather coats so trim
Twenty tails so straight and prim

“We are responsible,” said they.
“Respectful and safe in every way;
This is what we know is true
At our school of Pleasant View.”

All the teachers, kind but firm
Gave the chicks a lot to learn
Taught them how to read and write
And found their students very bright

Taught them math and science too
Were proud of how the small chicks grew
Saw them leave for bigger things
Roadrunners now could spread their wings

The prompt made me think of the poem Twenty Froggies. I decided to borrow that format, but write it about my school Pleasant View with our mascot the Roadrunners.
