*ahem*

So... yes. recently someone brought up -- yet again! -- the sad sad fate of one Trevor the Toad. I can't remember the thread right now, but it was recent. And I couldn't help but think... damn. poor kid... the loss just doesn't seem to go away, does it?

Well, I was reading a Garfield anthology the other day, and I chanced upon this. Just wanted our dear neville, who has been doing so much for others lately, even under all this talk of evil, to know that we will not soon forget that hippity little creature who meant so much to him, and thus, to us.

My Buddy

I have a buddy,
My buddy's a toad.
My buddy is muddy,
He's flat on the road.

But he is my buddy,
My buddy to stay.
Until he's peeled up,
And sailed away.

~~~

and if that sounded grim, I found a site with a lot of frog/toad poems (although this poem was listed there incorrectly, as being from Calvin and Hobbes although I read it in Garfield) and so feel free to peruse at will. One of my faves was:

Ode to An Expiring Frog
by Charles Dickens (from "The Pickwick Papers"):

Can I view thee panting, lying
On thy stomach, without sighing;
Can I unmoved see they dying
On a log,
Expiring frog!

Say, have fiends in shape of boys,
With wild hallo, and brutal noise,
Hunted thee from marshy joys,
With a dog,
Expiring frog!

~~~

*shniffle* Enjoy the rest.

There's nothing evil there. I am dissapointed.

OOH! nEVILle rap!

I'm a devious degenerate who goes by the name of Neville,
Gonna sacrifice death eaters to the motherfucking devil.
My wand's a seven inch rowan
And my sweet rhymes are flowin
So you better run, bitch,
cuz my power is growin.
Slytherins hide, cuz if I see you down the road
You'll taste the wrath of fucking Trevor the toad.
He's back from the grave to punish the killers
And smack down those who ain't got what the big dill is.

I can't write rap lyrics.

It came up in this thread here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/wheresmytoad/9534.html). Harry chided Neville for being glad that Malfoy was in the hospital. Here's (http://www.livejournal.com/users/wheresmytoad/9534.html?thread=27454#t27454%22) Neville's reply, where he mentions Trevor again. It's obvious that he hasn't forgotten, much less forgiven Malfoy.
