The Creature
Out in the garden, on a long winding road
Was a creature strolling by a rock
On top of that rock, there was a toad
Who looked as though, it was having trouble to walk
The creature, as evil as they seem
Didn’t wish to leave the toad in much pain
So he tried to help the toad down the path
The creature? A human, as kind as they deem
Who helped the toad cross the path without vain
So next time you see one? Thank him along your path
