         Ode to a Toad

Lily pads act homes lagoon
Below a chrome and sexy moon
Where nomad toads all Galahads  
Croak their love and wait unclad.
                                                                        
Flamboyant they gloat their glower,
Offering dower on the hour.
knights of the night they sing and recite
Croaking with might their songs of delight.

Ruckus tunes of male ensnare
Toady songs, beyond compare.
Horny for the closure of mate
Below a rapist moon of fate.

Bold and constant is their sweep
Passionate sounds of rebeep.
Roaring a rile of rhapsody
Stating fruitions destiny.    

Exploding echoes of flimflam
Frantically calling, here I am.

Big smiles...they do get loud, don't they? The tree and pond frogs in our pasture aren't quite out yet, but soon enough, soon enough...

Seymour darling boy, this is what I mean when I say my day isn't complete without a dose of you. I’m grinning like a Cheshire cat, or indeed the Cheshire cat.

The song A Frog Went A Courting is echoing in my head now and I shall be humming it for ages. This is utterly utterly wonderful, thank you darling boy, you must come again, soon.

Love and warm stuff
As always

Laughing at Nan's response *s

I once had a toad in my raised pond...don't know how he found his way in there...but the sound was so loud, echoing. He was well camouflaged.

Now if I ran into a dapper toad like you
I'd let him croak me a thing or two.
The tune we'd sing would be pretty loud,
bet he'd walk away strutting kinda proud!

LMBO at you, this was THE cutest thing!

What would a toad be without a Tabin? Not half the toad you made it.

Seymour I just love these little guys. We had a creek running across our back yard at the last home we had, and I would sit out and listen to these sweet sounds.. what is the one that comes out at night. Loud but so nice to listen to. This I really appreciated. Nice write. floria

Treasure every moment that you have!
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!!
