Nature can be, savage or kind
Which way does it go; can it be defined
A young toad was trapped by a sprinkler today
His life could have ended and be swept away
I noticed him there and expected him to hop
He was stuck I could see and I needed to stop
The mower, would and could have, swallowed him up
Had I not looked his way and stopped so abrupt
His leg was trapped in a sprinkler retract
In came down quite hard with a vicious impact
I was able to raise it and help the toad out
His pour leg looked broke, in that there's no doubt
I hope that he lives and heals up real quick
I'm glad I could help, the toad I named Rick...!
