Ode to a Toad
Poor wee doolfu’ toad,
Ye goat a right bum deal,
For sexy girls a frog will kiss,
A prince for tae reveal.
The frog has skin so soft an’ smooth,
While your’s has warts that shock,
The frog is built tae hop around,
While ye have goat tae walk.
But didnae get too upset,
As ye lay ten thousand eggs,
For yer weans will grow up safe and sound,
For nae one eats toad’s legs.
