My Encounter with a Toad

Why did no one see the toad
That hopped across the road
At her funeral
While everyone stood still
Tears filling their eyes
Still no one saw that guy
It would have made them smile

Oh are these signs, only mine
Or something else
Too much to be a joke
An endless hope
So I’ll take note

And what of Sunday morn
Where you and I adorned
A brand new way of thought
Something that can’t be taught
We walked and smelt the trees
Connectivity
Connectivity

And all the animals fled
And at the same time man-made eggs
Jolted all at once
And pumped out naughts and ones
That just seemed to correspond
With what was going on
With the tidal wave to come
That washed up everyone
That washed up everyone

Oh are these signs, only mine
Or something else
Too much to be a joke
An endless hope
So I’ll take note

I’m happy that more see
This connectivity
A global consciousness
It’s comforting to know
Like my encounter with the toad
No matter where you go
You’re never on your own
You’re never on your own
