What do you think this poem is about?

A Toad With a Lisp?

You know what a fraud is?

'A frog? '

No!
A FRAUD.

'A toad with a lisp?
Man,
I don't know.
It's been a while,
Since I've visited this neighborhood.
Why...
You've got one in the house or something? '

I've begun to wonder,
Why I brought the subject up.

'Why don't you kill it.
You want me to kill it for you? '

No...
I'm cool.
But I have been given a lot of insight into you.
You are really quite innocent.

'You are not trying to approach me...
Are you?
'Cause you know I aint into that! '

You have no idea how grateful I am.

'Cool.
So...
You want me to help you catch the 'fraud? '

No!
My bad.
It was a mistaken identity.

'You still smoking that weed,
Huh? '
