A rewrite.


Ode to a toad
    
Lily pads float waters lagoon
Below a pillowed sexy moon
Nomads of toads all Galahads  
Croaking their love waiting unclad.
                                                        
Flamboyant they gloat their power,
Offering flowers on the hour.
They are the knights of the night
Pawing ground to ladies delight.

Crooning a tune of male ensnare
A toady song beyond compare.
Horny for the closure of mate
Below a rapist moon of fate.

Bold and constant is their sweep
Calling out their passions rebeep.
Bringing the nights fraternity
Within fruitions destiny.    

From their throats they blow natures damn
Frantically calling, here I am.

Not too many people can make toads sound sexy, my friend!

Love the "pillowed sexy moon"!

Brian,
Don't know about the kiss, you'll have to find out for yourself.

Spit Fire,
Thanks and beware of the pillowed moon.
