The Toads (A Tongue Twister)

[This is a variant version]
A three-toed tree toad loved a two-toed she-toad. Unfortunately, the two-toed she-toad did not love the three-toed tree-toad.
The three-toed tree toad tried three times to win the love of the two-toed she-toad, but the two-toed she-toad told the three-toed tree toad that she loved only a fat, fickle frog.
A toad loved a two-toed she-toad that lived up in a tree. She was a three-toed tree toad. But a two-toed tree toad was a he.
The two-toed tree toad tried to win the she-toad's friendly nod, for the two-toed tree toad loved the ground on which the three-toed tree toad trod.
But no matter how the two-toed tree toad tried, he could not please her whim.
In her three-toed tree toad power, with her three-toed tree toad power, the three-toed she-toad vetoed the two-toed tree toad.

Here is the standard version:

A tree toad loved a she-toad
Who lived up in a tree.

He was a two-toed tree toad
But a three-toed toad was she.

The two-toed tree toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad's heart,
For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree toad trod.

But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain.
He couldn't please her whim.

From her tree toad bower
With her three-toed power
The she-toad vetoed him.
