The Scurrilous Toad

I have here a drink on the tip of my tongue
said the scurrilous toad to the fly
the proof of its potency lies in the fact
I've never had angry reply
the procedure is simple and easy to do
you need only follow this rule
come close to my lip and take thee a sip
from my warm, supple, nectarous gruel
that doesn't sound pleasant responded the fly
and i fear your intentions have malice
but I must admit that the offer is sweet
and I'm tempted to  swig from this chalice
then come ye but close to me have no more fear
the wonders await unrequited
I promise you this no more angst will you have
once your thirsts have been duly delighted
though your plan may have evil intent i must say
that the offer for me holds some merit
for sadly of late the world's droning gate
has made me unable to bear it
I'll throw away fears and fly to your tongue
in hopes of a happier path
and in one foul swoop the fly joined the soup
and the toad swallowed hard with a laugh
