Gone the hoppy

Hi everyone,

For long evenings and nights we were serenaded by male toads trilling their hearts out, looking for love. Only when they became quiet out there in the dark did we suspect that the little lotharios had scored. We still hear an occasional song but the mating season has essentially passed, and so have the briefly happy couples. The evidence of their success lines the water accumulated on top of our pool.

gone the mommies
gone the poppies
gone the hoppy hoppy hoppies
no more mammies
no more pappies
no more happy happy happies
left the kiddos on their own
now they must grow up alone
for future mommies
future poppies
future hoppy hoppy hoppies
