A Scout Song – Oh Tom the Toad

Not original, but worthy of preservation, (heard while visiting the camporee with my Webelos).

This is sung to the tune of “O Christmas Tree”

Oh Tom the Toad
Oh Tom the Toad
Why did you hop out on the road
You didn’t see that semi-truck
You were a toad and now you’re muck.

Oh Tom the Toad
Oh Tom the Toad
Why did you hop out on the road
Once you ate flies red and blue
Now the flies are eating you.

I guess you had to be there to appreciate it.

A mild-mannered professor of computer science in real-life, I remove my glasses in the evening to become, well, a mild-mannered author in my alternate reality. I mostly write sweet romantic fiction, although with an occasional science-fiction or paranormal angle thrown in. I have interests in history, mathematics (D'oh), and cryptography. I'm also something of an Anglophile, and know that country pretty well. In addition to writing, research, and more writing, I volunteer with the scouts. I'm something of a nature-nut, enjoying long walks in the country with almost ultra-light gear, boating, and identifying wildlife.
