It started...

...at a tavern, many years ago,
when boatmen went to drink, when the water was low;
the locals didn't like them, and so they would goad,
by saying they drank so much, they swelled up like a toad.

That's how the name of the place came about,
now it's celebrated, each year with a shout;
and I guess it has a bit of fame,
the story of how Toad Suck came to get its' name.
