Link to 1 minute YouTube recording of 'Toad Song' Toads and human recorded outdoors, live, April 6, 2016 at The Garden Pond. It sprinkled a little. PG-13.
Toad song
The poor toads don’t listen to the news on NPR,
they’re out in the weather twenty-four hours a day.
Their only sports involve swimming
in the same small garden pond each and every day.
But you can hardly say that the dumb bastards
are utterly and irrevocably unhappy,
even though they can only carry just the one tune.
There’ll be ten thousand silently swimming tadpoles
come one sweet summer’s night in June.
