The Pigeon Toad

by Carolyn Wells 1862–1942

From A Phenomenal Fauna

Living

The Pigeon Toad's a funny little beast,
He's found in every land from West to East.
The children bring him in, to our amaze,
And though we try to turn him out, he stays.
He's never seen with soldiers, nor with fops,
But with the schoolboys how he jumps and hops.
