Ode to a Toad: HOW TO BUILD A BETTER TOAD IMAGE

Here is an Ode to a Toad that was submited on the SquareToad website back in October 2005 by Judith Cody:

HOW TO BUILD A BETTER TOAD IMAGE

 

One was in the shrubbery

Quite slippery and

(What do you think?)

Rubbery!

Two were jiggling under the roses

In questionable

(Well look at that?)

Poses.

Three entered my doorway

To ask shocking

(Now what?)

Directions.

Four delivered packages of

(Could this be?)

Toadities!

Dozens of marvelous

(Duh!)

Toad particular, solid gold currencies!

Then the four toads told me,

All the gleaming gold money

Was barter for me if only I’d

Write them a flattering poem.

Which I did,

This is it

Which they loved

Gave me gold

Lovely gold

Lovely, lovely

Generous

Gorgeous

TOADS!
