Them Toad Suckers

How about them Toad Suckers, ain't they clods?
Sittin' there suckin' them green toady-frogs.
Suckin' them hopper-toads, suckin' them chunkers,
Suckin' them leapy types, suckin' them plunkers.
Look at them Toad Suckers, ain't they snappy?
Suckin' them bog-frogs sure makes them happy.
Them hugger-mugger Toad Suckers, way down south,
Stickin' they sucky-toads in they mouth.
How to be a Toad Sucker? No way to duck it;
Getcha self a toad, rare back and suck it!

[I first heard this recited by a friend many years ago, who said it came from a whole book of verse written as revenge on schoolteachers who forced children to recite poetry. That book was The 'Them' Poems by Mason Williams. I particularly liked 'Them Ewe Doers'. Enjoy! ^^]

I was introduced to it by my parents' album of Williams performing several pieces from that collection as songs. This was one of my favorites, after "Them Hors-d'oeuvres".
