“The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! [Australian TV show] camp is reportedly facing
an unusual challenge with an invasion of [non-native] poisonous toads.”
—Inside News Hub

When Aussies planted sugar cane,
The farmers sent requests
To help their faltering campaign
To rid themselves of pests.

Conscription of their shining knight,
A poison-laden toad,
Did not prove useful as it might
As history has showed.

But after 90 years have passed,
They’ve earned their keep, you see—
They’ve beat a wretched pest at last:
Reality TV.
