Editorial Toad

Rib it with your sharp stick.
Break one or two; use your vicious tongue.
Leap to the apropos conclusion;
lily little sketchpad covered in red pen.
Herein lies pond scum: primordial insect soup.
Pick a eukaryote pair, combine, scratch the margins.
Cousin frogs and salamanders are not deep enough
for your throaty mourning croupe.
Litmus bases test your acid
to burn each word with glum.
Publications which you scoured
are bound to speak to souls.
