As I was driving along the road,
There was a sign - 'Beware Of Toads'
And suddenly, in front of me,
Were said amphibians, two, then three,
Then more and more jumped into view,
Rather a lot, not just a few,
Avoiding action I had to take,
I swerved a bit, and hit the brake,
But sadly it was to no avail,
My attempts at stopping were doomed to fail,
And the car just kept on going,
And there was no way of me knowing,
How many of the little greenish brown guys,
Became victims of a truly fatal surprise,
And ended up squashed beneath the spinning wheels.
Like skidding on ice is how it feels!
