Do Toads Cause Warts

Do Toads Cause Warts?

By Elton Camp 

Touching a toad might make us feel sick
But to give warts would be quite a trick

For toads don’t even have warts to begin
Those bumps are only glands in their skin

That viruses cause warts all experts say
They’re from humans and no other way

Handshaking, infected objects, public shower
All these to transmit the virus have the power

In the skin just some very minor break
To admit the virus is all that it does take

Warts, in a couple of years, usually disappear
Of serious consequences there’s little to fear

So if developing warts you would like to stop
Careful of infected objects and wear flip-flop

And go ahead and touch a toad if you will
Especially if that happens to give some thrill
