M. Nerveux Chronicles: Toad Suffers a Bad Business
by Steven Gowin
Part Cajun part Creole part Celt, M. Nerveux mayors Le Bayou Sauvage.
Voudou priest and advocate, he communes with all night creatures: with Possum, with Monkey, with Champigon and Climby Vine.
These, the chronicles of his musings, will appear de temps en temps in various forms. Today a poem:
Toad Suffers a Bad Business
Herr Toad smokin'
free pack
a day.
Got the
turbal cough
n'est pas?
Wartie but
ain't slimy,
see.
Nicotine
patching a
toad.
