mr and mrs toad


mr. and mrs. toad
sit under a tree in my back yard
her knees are together, her hands in her lap
and his knees are apart.
i know that he is he and she is she
because of this.
i learned this from the book “Huckleberry Finn,” by Mark Twain.
there isn’t really much else about mr. and mrs. toad to tip you off.
i have to wonder:
is there much of anything about ANY toad to tell you at a glance his or her sexual identity.
all I can say is, thank god we don’t have toad transvestites.
at least………….
i don’t think we do.

  1. What a deep thought about toads. I must ponder this. Or not.

    Anyway, I love this toady pair. Are these in your back yard?
