Small Toad Loss, Big Toad Gain
by Aaron Schmookler (Age: 31)
copyright 08-20-2002


Age Rating: 4 to 127

 
I've never before writ a sonnet, but I thought it high time to try for a new tool to place just beneath my bonnet.



A toad one day went hopping down the street,
To find the jerk who stole his favorite wart.
Without that wart he did not feel complete.
“I’ll find that punk and drag him off to court.”

A moment later it began to rain.
The gutter filled with run-off water fast.
Our Toad was washed quite swiftly down the drain.
“I’ll die just like my daughter when she passed.”

Among debris he sputtered gasping air.
He cried for help while scrambling up a bank.
“I’m coming. Hang on,” lifted his despair.
“My daughter lives and I’ve this drain to thank.”

They hugged and smooched,“Hey Daddy, where’s your bump?”
“Some jerk my wart did steal, right off my rump.”

Who let the frogs out? Ribbit Ribbit....lol I enjoyed this immensely. But, will he ever get his wart back?

I enjoyed your sonnet Aaron. Humor is always a nice detour from the normally serious topics.

Aaron, this is excellent. The sonnet is a form most often known for being dead serious. It is also often used as a form for love poems. It's really delightful to see it used so originally.

A fine sonnet and great humor piece. I loved the storybook flavor to this poem. You might consider a children's book of poems, perhaps even all sonnets. Enjoyed thoroughly!

Very nice effort at the sonnet form. Your limmerick talent stills is evident in your humor! Works great.
