Licked by a toad

Look around your nest and see if the coast is clear.
I hear a bullfrog croak and that I know for sure.
Cautious if you are alone, I would not go outdoors
Kindly, hang out, wait for my sign and stay here.

Everyone knows they are found here this time of year.
Do have them lick you if you’re wishing for a cure.
But, look around your nest and see if the coast is clear.
You may hear a bullfrog croak and then you’ll know for sure.

Also, Charlie be careful and try to swallow your fear.
To the shadows with others who can not yet soar.
Oh, like a boat to a rudder and a sea to a shore.
Almost made it to half a year, grab the tiller and steer.
Do look around your nest and see if the coast is clear.

Hour eleven, 7pm
Licked by a Toad
(form Acrostic/ Rondel)
Charlie the Mayfly.
