A Young Toad's Travels

Johnny thought, with his flourescent imagination,
of the things he could do if only he had the patience.
So once upon a toad, he wished to walk the road,
to find the spices of his life, that of which he loathed.

And so Johnny went on his way, peeling his eyes as he goes,
untill he came across a woman, covered in herbs from head to toe.
"How do you do?" said Johnny "What may it be?
I'm sorry to say this, love. But you're looking like a tree!"

"Business as usual" she said, "That's the reason for the load.
There's a lot of stuff back there! But there's nothing for a toad!"
Dissapointed as may, Johnny searched through night and day.
It was a long and dreary road - but not that he minded anyway.

Then alas, after years of searching, the time finally came.
A quite exhuberent fellow he was, he didn't even have a name.
So with a great sigh, Johnny explained, his words cold and flat, bold and plain,
But the man understood of what he had to proclaim.

So the trees blew and the grass grew,
And in that moment his wish came true.
He could walk again, with power and might.
With not a hop in his step, just a smile of delight.

And so when Johnny looks back, he can look on back in pride.
And know that life can be even greener on the other side.
