I arose in the midnight
After having too much tea,
And with my eyes half shut
I tiptoed to go pee.
But just before I flushed,
Something caught my eye.
It was green! It was slimy!
It had four legs and two eyes!
When you live in the country
And it rains bogs and bogs . . .
Apparently it also rains
Mounds of toilet frogs!
So how did you get in there,
Amphibian in the commode?
Are you a new species
Of mutant sewer toad?
I wake my son to fish you out
And put you on the deck.
The next morning you’re back again . . .
In the toilet? What the heck!?
Next time YOUR mom wakes up
In the middle of the night . . .
Please oh, do make certain
That she turns on the light!
Tiny tadpoles, warty toads
Or commode pollywogs . . .
Your mom may be the next victim
Of my good friend toilet frog.
