A Tiny Lizard

I found a tiny lizard Climbing on a tiny tree I put him in a tiny jar And took him home with me I put him on my tall dresser Next to my tall gleaming lamp, I showed him to my tall brother Who said “show it to ol’ Gramps”. In the den I found old gramps, Sitting wearily in his old chair He saw I had something in my hand And said “what do you have there”? I showed him the tiny lizard Exploring in the tiny jar Old Gramps said I had to let it go I had already moved it too far So I went back to the tiny tree To let the tiny lizard go I opened the lid on the tiny jar And I sent the tiny lizard home.
