Crimson’s Creative Challenge
It was love at first sight
The place was just right
For a love-torn toad
Too long on the road
He hopped straight in
And settled down with a big wide grin

Well, found her, but my mistake, it’s a frog not a toad, and also (oops) I called it a reptile. But there was a reason for that.
