my name's Sid and I'm a tadpole
when I was frogspawn there was no problemo
life was easy then
but now I have a bad yen
I have to feed off my own joke
my name's Sid and I'm a tadpole
I'm a tadpole without a pole
a tad lacking something and rather droll
no legs to make a little headway
not that I can pole dance anyway
more than a pole I really need a post
a fingerpost would be cool
to tell me where to go
but then I need to know what to do there too
and I can't quite put my finger on dat
I haven't got one for a start in this mudflat
or perhaps I'm approaching dis from the wrong direction
maybe I'm a tad pondering the quiddity of the pond's inaction
this murky marshy mire of a pool
it's no one's fault quicunque vult
life is not a matter of wishes though
my name's Sid and I'm a tadpole
