Uncle Bob Poet Rhyme

The Wise Toad--CM

Ole warty toad,
                       on mossy road
where secrets bode

For man to learn,
                          and wisdom earn
from leafy fern

Where you hold court,
                                  and make your sport
safe from retort

I must amuse,
                     'tis no such ruse
lest I refuse

A fool I've been,
                        frantic again
like Mother Hen

Too loud to hear,
                        now you are near
your secrets dear.
