Ode To A Toad MAG
I was out one day for my usual jog,
(I go kinda easy, rarely full-hog)
When I happened to see, right there on the road
The squishy remains of a little green toad.
I thought to myself, where is his home?
Down yonder green valley, how far did he roam?
From out on the pond I heard sorrowful croaks,
Could that be the wailing of some of his folks?
I felt for the toad and his pitiful state,
But the day was now fading, and such was his fate.
In the grand scheme of things, now I confess,
What's one little froggie, more or less?

I like this! :) I love serious and deep poetry, but but a quirky cute poem is a nice break every once in a while! Nice job!

I literally LOLed when I finished the poem. I liked it--hilarious ending :) reminds me of a poem I wrote about crickets drowning in a pool the other day.
