Pretty Little Toadstools

Have you ever seen two toadstools?

In your own back yard a growing

To tell the truth, I really did

Took 2 photos ~ then did my mowing.


The toadstools is a puzzle to me

I wonder why they named them that?

They're really shaped just like a stool

They were admired by Calico, my cat.


Do real Toads ever sit on them?

Is that the reason for their name?

They were growing near the post

I like them just the same.

It's mystery of how they just spring up

A growing fungus in the ground

As if overnight they do appear

So fast they grow and oh so round.


I guess this fungus dislike the sun

Soon golden spots of tan they'll have

The don't stay long when they come

A wondrous beauty to us, God gave.
