A tree toad loved a she toad
Who lived up in a tree
She was a three-toed tree toad
But a two-toed toad was he
The two-toed toad tried to win
The she toad's friendly nod
For the two-toed toad loved the ground
On which the three-toed toad trod
But no matter how much the two-toed tree toad tried
He could not please her whim
In her tree-toad bower
With her three-toed power
The she toad vetoed him
