Ode To A Toad, from Square Toed Shoes

Darling Toad...

Oh darling toad of the slimy skin

Could there be more to you within?

I’d like to believe you are a prince

But that fairytale died for me long since!



Oh darling toad all covered in warts

Could you be a prince of sorts?

I can’t imagine you on a shining steed

But to believe in you I feel a need!



If I should deign to give you a kiss

Would I get warts upon my lips?

Could a slime like you make my heart sing?

If I’m to find out I must do this thing!



*Mwah* There! The deed is done!

Damn! I knew you wouldn’t be one!!!
