TOADs...AHH EWW

The toad in this poem seems to symbolize his utter hatred for his job. He talks of how its a "sickening poison-just for a few bills." He does it only for the sake of survival and getting his bills paid. It is almost a poem comprised entirely of a person complaining over his job. Therefore it also is funny when he talks about it hinders him from getting a girl. It is an excuse for his life that is not the way he wants it. Also one can clearly see his total frustration with the italicized phrase of "stuff your pensions."
