I went to the bathroom To take a much needed _ And what did surprise me? Someone looking at me Through the other side Of the old dirty window Outdoors in the sunshine Baking in the Florida heat Atop a water apparatus Which I use for the yard I saw a friendly lizard A small scaly reptile With an elongate body A tapering tantalizing tail Two pair of little legs With very long toes This terrestrial species A miniature dinosaur With skin like leather Ideal for climates tropical Speedy and furiously fast Moving like a lightning bolt Many lizards run around To the amazement of My happy Canadian wife Who had never seen such A glorious and fun creature Throughout a cold winter But the lizard out the window Was for me particularly special Able to impart companionship During a quick bathroom break Kind of like a "Hey, dude!" "I'm here.
How about you?" "Alright man.
How do you do?" "Are you having a nice day?" "Are things going you way?" "As for me I'm just running Around your pretty backyard.
" "I thought I'd just say hello.
" "Take a moment while you go To peer in and sneak a peak.
Ask Mr.
Davis what you think.
" "I know I'm just a tiny lizard, But I can be quite the wizard.
" "I am most fast and furious I like to eat insects delicious Run from nasty snakes ferocious Loud birds who peck mischievous.
" "I play in your flowers and bushes Sometimes sort through some trash Chill out and time relaxingly pass.
" "Have fun while you get done All you will frantically do today.
Meanwhile I will continue to play.
" I just wanted to quickly say 'hey!'
