The Summer Toad

Waiting in the air conditioner water,
Between 701 and 703,
The toad stands in the hot summer
As still as a knotted oak tree.

Terrorizing flies
And running from feet,
He tells not lies
For he never speaks;

He waddles from lethargy
From stoop to his bed.
Only a simple philosophy
Runs in his head.
