untitled

there was a young toad named Joad
who began life as a mere tadpole
one day it is said
he ended up dead
the protein in a Blue Heron’s casserole

I remember someone ordering a kale salad at a restaurant in New York that had a lizard's head in it. Reading this nice little limerick reminded me of that incident.

We've all got to eat, sadly for the toad he's way down the list in the food chain. Lol Tom

It's a common danger for toads. I'm sorry he is gone. On the other hand, blue herons are beautiful.
