On the Way To School

As I was walking down the road
I saw an ugly fat brown toad
He said don’t stand upon a nick
They say you’ll turn into a stick
I screwed my face up in distaste
And ran away in confused haste
There sitting on a wall
Was a short little man with bat and ball
He said don’t run you may just trip
You’ll scuff your knees and bite your lip
I gave my head a little dip
Then skipped all the way to school.
