A tree-toad loved a she-toad
Who lived up in a tree.

He was a two-toed tree-toad,
But a three-toed toad was she.

The two-toed tree-toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad’s heart,
For the two-toed tree-toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree-toad trod.

But the two-toed tree-toad tried in vain;
He couldn’t please her whim.

From her tree-toad bower,
With her three-toed power,
The she-toad vetoed him.
