{Uncle Toad tucked in the compost pile
Out by the back door look at him smile
He said, kid stop drinkin' that brew
Plan while ya can or the joke's on you}

Hey Reno Rick, I had never saw that song as a message, to the young folks who like you said, still make the same mistake most of us made. Wisdom from the Poet Genius, what a guy, I just wish I was related to this Minstrel man. He keeps pushing my buttons, like Pamela Wallin told him.

Thanks for making me more aware of this song, Peter, and Rick. I like it better now too... ~Jesse~
