Our story about tommy
Tommy was our toad
He lived in the woods close by
He'd hop on our lawn
Always hopping 'round
Heading strait to Gram's garden
Where he'd hunt all day
He was a big one
Who really looked so bumpy
Didn't jump so good
He'd always snap flies
He went after bees as well
He was quite a toad
To Sue and I we
Would always chase after him
And away he'd bound
Our buddy Billy
Brought a track to race our toads
Had to catch Tommy
When Sue and I
Went and tried he'd get away
We never caught Tommy
We thought he was slow
He must have been chased before
He saw us coming
Now I miss those days
When Sue and I played, but then
She's not here anymore
