Green Is Beautiful

A motley brown toad lived in a stream
Oh to be green was his nightly dream

Once he slid into a stagnant lake
To say he stunk was not a mistake

So he rolled in the grass to get clean
So happy when he saw he was green

He ran to his friends wanting to show
Don't get wet they said, or it will go.

If you see a green toad face all smiles
You will know it's him smell him for miles
