For some reason today, I thought of an old challenge poem PdV wrote, entitled 'Frog on my Lap'. That was the impetus and inspiration for this one. There's a Toad on my Lap There's a toad on my lap And it will not leave, And I really don't know How it got there. I was sitting on a bench When I felt pressure on my lap. Now, I figured it was because Of that busty, leggy jogger, But no. When down I looked It looked back and made a sound, 'Blergerarp' with inflated throat Squatting on my lap. And it would not budge, Not even when I stood, Dug in on my lap like, Well, like a toad on a stone. That nasty, icky, warty, Brownish-grey, pissing, Croaking, cross-eyed toad Will not leave my lap! I'm at a loss as to what to do As the people point and stare. I guess I'll have to take him home; I think I'll call him George. Alicat |

Well... I'm speechless. And I'm not sure if whether that's a good thing or bad.?.?.?  < !signature-->-jaimie Website: www.ladysixstring.com [This message has been edited by ladysixstring (edited 08-30-2000).] |
