Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Bat Tries To Help Me Get Rid of a Pesky Toad

A bumpy toad jumped on my nose and refused to get off.
I tried to gross him out, much phlegm I garnered in a cough.
He was determined and held on tightly with his webbed toes.
I was irritated because after all, it is my own private nose.

Come help me! I yelled to a bat in the belfry below.
He came up and bit the toad on his middle little toe.
The toad bit him back, actually sliced off his head with his teeth.
I was really grossed out when I saw what was underneath.

M. L. Kiser May 31, 2022 at 8:22 AM Eew, I am certain you were. I didn't know that toads could even fit on someone's nose. A fun read.

Bill Baker May 28, 2022 at 11:09 PM ewe, tough ending to your tale, Caren. Still a good Rhyme though. Bill Caren Krutsinger May 29, 2022 at 3:18 AM Thank you Bill. I do love rhymes!

L Milton Hankins May 28, 2022 at 1:12 PM Hmmm...isn't the belfry the bell tower, the highest point in a church? So, where were you sitting when this critter jumped on your nose? A born high jumper, I'd say. If the belfry is crowned with a cross, you must have been sitting on top of the cross. Oh well...give it up Milt!!!!! It's a marvelous fantasy! Caren Krutsinger May 29, 2022 at 3:18 AM I would tell you but then I would have to kill you Hank. And I like you too much to do that.
