The Argyle Gargoyle

A poem by Beverly Stock.

The Argyle Gargoyle likes to eat

Freshly caught fish that wiggle and weep.

He looked for minnows in the river in masses,

And cried, “There aren’t any fish for me to eat!”

For five frantic frogs ate all the minnows

Then all five frantic frogs fell asleep at his feet.
