The first tadpole I had, died in two days.
I was distraught.
So of course I caught another one.
Called him Tad-Too-Small,
A mouthful,
But suited him just right.
Brought him a friend called Paul
the next day.
I hoped they would grow up together,
Besties 4 eva.
Tad-Too-Small died with Paul on a Tuesday.
I held a funeral.
And never looked for frogspawn again.
