Retro: In this dark forest


On the edge of a humble pond, there is a fireball of many fireflies.

"Envy not." croaks the Invisible Toad, "See, this kind of love lies in glowing tails; once that's gone, nothing remains." And beneath that elusive ball of glow and row, struggle quite a lot who's lost that gloss.

"Besides," while munching on his new catch, adds this ugly crawler, "in this dark forest, a torch burning bright tempth all too many vicious fangs and a sticky tongue."
