Toadies of Our Times

Midst anger fester the fox's concerns infecting every breathing room with pique and plaint in brilliance painted ensconced in virtue, truth untainted Whilst swirls the mud, a sewer's worth from which a sample oozes forth to tempt the toadies of our times who lip and tongue their fonts of rhyme Unity's preached midst raw dissension clarity abuts miscomprehension

Hey, Gershon, look out the window I believe the toads are protesting being demeaned by such slanderous references

I am going to hose down those toads, John. Thanks for the heads-up.

… to tempt the toadies of our times who lip and tongue their fonts of rhyme - what are you attempting to be? A great poet, perhaps!
